NEED HELP NOW. I don't know how to use this site--and I don't have time to keep looking for the answer I need. I am making a million mistakes--first timer...
I had only one egg in the bator that was viable upon candling--so I removed 8 and let that one grow, at day 18 I removed him/her to a "hatching box" and she was fine. a week later I added 4 more eggs to the hatching box with her. it's day 21, and one is healthy and out, and another has started--but has been pipping for about 24 hrs!! when he first pipped a bit of a hole--the 1 week old got frightened and attacked it!! (sibling rivalry). anyway--removed the cannibal--but it's taking a long time to come out.
after reading thru some of this--I realize the moisture is probably low. he is in a plastic storage container, with a light and blankets over it. I added some wet paper napkins close by the egg...should I help little? HELP!
