I need advice...
Today is day 24 of incubation and yesterday four chicks hatched. I just had to help one of the 4 chicks hatch out of there egg last night. It was pipping for over 30 hours but couldn't make any progress. When I took the egg shell and eventually the membrane off the chick, I soon realized she had a super thick rubbery membrane. There is no way she could have got out of that. Do you think the other eggs could have this same problem but maybe can't pip?
I have 14 more eggs in there that haven't pipped at all. Will they still hatch? Should I candle them to see their progress? How much longer should I wait?
