    I ACCIDENTALLY POKED CHICK WHILE MAKING SAFETY HOLE

    3 out of six of the last hatched this morning. 2 are still moving and peeping. Hopefully they can pull through.

    I ACCIDENTALLY POKED CHICK WHILE MAKING SAFETY HOLE

    Plus, the eggs I thought would be ok and hatch by themselves had died after I decided not to help them. So I’m having a hard time trying to decide whether or not to help chicks. The two I have helped have ended up pushing themselves out.

    At what point should I assist after internal pip?

    Thank you! I did make safety holes in two of them but I think one might have already died before I did. The other is peeping and moving so hopefully it pips in the next 12 hours or so. Otherwise I’m going to have to go in and assist.

    At what point should I assist after internal pip?

    Hi all! I am on my fourth go round of hatching chicken eggs for my friends out of a homemade incubator. Each time I’ve had around a 80 percent hatch rate. This time, unusually, I didn’t have to put any water in the bay or during the first 18 days since the hydrometers were averaging about 40%...
