did you open the bator since they first pipped?So my chicks are in their eggs upside down it looks like. Both eggs are in an egg crate fat end up and I can see the chicks and they're heads are down and I can tell that the beak is upside down. Should I lay the eggs down? Would that be easier for them to come out. 1 of them has been this way since 5 this morning and hasn't made any progress. I can see him moving in there lots and cheeping, but doesn't seem to be able to get the rest of the shell off or get turned around.
I did that and my chicks got stuck... it dried the membrane (which was already sticky) some chicks take a LONG time to get out... once he zips..it will be no time. I had a chick pip and it sat like that for a whole day. I figured it died after it pipped... i left it alone. The next day it was out.
also, my chicks beaks looked like they were sideways or upside down too... I think it is the position for piping and zipping. i can't say that is normal... but I can just relate. I left it alone.
