Hands on hatching and help

@casportpony how could you tell it was malpositioned and time to pip? I've only had 1 malposition and I didn't know. What should I have looked for?

I picked it up it candle to candle it and saw the pip. Chick make pip, I made hole, lol.

Big props to @AmyLynn2374 and @RubyNala97 and he said she said, great ideas from you guys. Plus this thread. Enjoy being able to meddle "better". I've raised my humidity, changed my turning and a few other things and this incubation is already progressing better than others!!

I'm pretty sure that it pipped itself.

My very first maleposition was a FIVE. Little toes wiggled at me from above her beak...lol I knew then that she wasn't getting out w/o help. She's now a year and 4 months old an an excellent layer.

It's interesting that you posted that. This go around I've got my eggs more upright instead of on their sides! Instead of rolling to turn, I'm just going back and forth.

It's probably just the membrane around the yolk that's left. After my little guy absorbed his yolk he had a tiny ball left that dried up tight against the "navel" and after a couple days fell off at a touch.

I think so too. It is a hard little bead now that looks much better than yesterday. Definitely not moist or gunky. Thanks for your help.

This one was really stuck:

Bruise is where it tried to pip. Saw this then marked air cell with pen.
