Hatching
Hi everyone! I am a newbie when it comes to incubating and hatching eggs ,raised plenty of chicks and chickens no problem,but this is becoming sad for me. I have a still air incubator my first batch of eggs are now 22 days in (black Astrolops) the first chick pip at day 20 but 26 hours later had still not hatched. I notices he had stopped moving around so I went to intervene after reading many post on when and if I should. After pulling back the shell it was apparent he was gone. His yoke was still in tack as well. He was a little slimy but I read that was normal. Now I have another egg that is pip and hasn't started to zip yet!! I can hear it chirp from time to time, we are 13hours out now. I don't want what happened to the first to happen to this little guy. Should I intervene earlier this time or let it be?
Incubator temp between 99-100degrees
