So my remaining 2 eggs were internally pipped yesterday and I waited 24 hours, but they seemed to have made no progress. I also previously had not seen the eggs move which concerned me. I candled them just to see if they were still moving and thankfully both were. I took a sterilized needle (because it was the only sharper object I could find) and carefully poked a little safety hole in the air cell so that hopefully they could get a little bit of air. I set up a camera and I've started to see them shake periodically! I'm keeping the humidity consistently between 60% and 70%.
I am slightly concerned about a few things, like whether or not I made a safety hole too soon, if keeping the lid off the incubator to create it would have any negative impact, and even if a needle-sized hole was too small. Should I wait another 24 hours and if they still have not breached the external shell help them a little? It feels like I'm in the home stretch and yet I feel like so many things could go wrong to take these little babies chances away.
