This is my second attempt at incubating/hatching. Our last hatch only yielded one bitty so I think I am nervous. So far this hatch is going very well. Three bittys have hatched so far and we have a few eggs rocking so I know it won't be long.
My question is concerning one of the eggs that pipped nicely, started to zip but seems to have quit mid hatch. I'm concerned the chick has died. I watched the egg for a solid 5 mins. The other chicks are still in the incubator so they are walking around in there (especially when they see me peak thru the window) and I still see no movement with this particular egg.
Should I be worried? Being that this egg must have started during the night I'm not sure how long that it has been still.
