    hatching chick panting in egg

    This sounds a lot like what I went through yesterday. I think try really hard not to open the incubator. What day are you on? Have you opened the incubator during the last three days? From what I have read, this is her resting time and it may take her a while to unzip the egg. Good luck and...

    Thank you for the information. I didn't realize that the incubator needed to be at 102. I am really feeling like I need to buy an incubator for the next time I do this. There may be less user error with a store bought incubator. Any suggestions on models?

    Thank you for getting back to me. I think when I started this adventure with incubation eggs, I thought that the eggs would either hatch or not hatch. I didn't realize that there was a possibility that they might partially hatch and then slowly die. So that was distressing to watch and not...

    i don't know if i waited too long to take her out or what but she died. I suppose I learned a lot but I'm not happy that it seems like it was at the expense of this chick.

    I forgot mention that at one point there was some frothing at the beak going on. I quickly cleaned that away so that she wouldn't suffocate. That has stopped but the "panting" is still going on. I am starting to think that the panting is causing the air sac but I have no idea why.

    My chick pipped on day 23 and on day 24 (today) with some help, she has part of her shell removed. Right now she is what I can only describe as panting and has as a large air sac on what should be her back area. She is still not completely out of the shell and is wrapped in moist paper towels...
