I'm on day 22 with 18 eggs, yesterday some started wobbling about, when I woke up this morning I found that I had a pip, but at the wrong end of the egg.
I am worried that it isn't going to be able to hatch properly, this isn't my first time hatching but I've not actually came across this before. I'm also worried the membrane might start to dry out, when she I intervene? Advise please someone....
wrong end pips aren't the end of the world but they do have a higher chance of being fatal to the chick if the zip is too fast or they pip though a vien. for now it's best to treat it like a normal egg unless you see blood coming from the egg then try to stop it with dry paper towels (most of the time you won't see bleeding until the damage is done) if the membrane is drying out turning a dark brown etc use warm water with a q-tip to wet it again but unless the chick is over 24 hours over due i wouldn't say to assist futher then that
Mine are on day 12 today.
