EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

So it's day 23 of hatch and everyone is out and happy on day 21. SO I flip over one of the eggs left in the incubator to candle and there was a pip on the pointy side face down. I peeled a big enough hole for the chicks beak to get some air and the membrane is quite dry but not really absorbing any water i drop on it. The inside is still very much full of veins as it's hole is on the pointy end. Will this chick be able to absorb the yolk in this position? Is the dry membrane going to be a huge problem? It doesn't look to be shrink wrapping but it is dry. I really hope this egg makes it as it was one of three eggs my favourite chicken left me before she got eaten and it's the only one of those three to pip!

Do NOT put water on it, it will dry it out more. Vaseline is better.

Yes, it should hatch fine if you haven't peeled too much away.

Our beloved spider lady will have to learn the hard way that Banti now knows how to use the search tool just as well as before the conversion.

About time!

You mistake me for being a much nicer person than I actually am.
