I unplugged the bator with 4 unzipped eggs. I believe they were malpositioned. One zipped and died from ruptured yolk sac. Another pipped externally. It was malpositioned and missed the aircell. I assisted the hatch on day 22. Yolk was absorbed, but it is not doing well. It laid in the Bator for 7 hours, having occasional muscle spasms. It couldn't hold its head up, and one leg is not working right. We are giving sugar water and TLC. So out of 18 eggs, 12 healthy chicks, one sick, one freak accident death during hatch.
It's still a successful hatch in my books. 65%.
