    Pipping Eggs - Is Membrane too Dry?

    One is still zipping but looks ok. I candled both the other eggs. One looks to have died and there is a definite heart beat in the other she'll but there seems to a chick laying across the width of the egg and a very very large area of air in the shell too. Don't think that one is right but sad...

    Pipping Eggs - Is Membrane too Dry?

    Thank you The other one is almost fully zipped too There seems to be a little bright pink thing near the vent (hanging out) and the cord is attached to that. The chick is very active. It almost look like it could be a prolapse?

    Another has just hatched but still seems to have something attached to it. It looks almost jelly like and seems to be coming from where the vent would be. It looks almost like an umbilical cord is still attached? Do I do anything?

    Pipping Eggs - Is Membrane too Dry?

    Thank you for offering your advice. Since making the opening a little wider (in the egg pictured above), I can see the chicks beak so it's now getting air. It isn't doing much at all for itself. Not moving around but its beak is continually opening and closing but no cheeping sounds from any...

    Pipping Eggs - Is Membrane too Dry?

    One hatched at 2am this morning (uk time). The egg I spoke to you about (plus 1 other) had not progressed at all. The membrane had gone papery and brown so I had to remove the hatched chick from the incubator after 4 hours (not ideal but needed to intervene with the other eggs). I have made a...

    I have nothing measuring humidity as this machine does not offer that function. There has been almost no progress since this morning X

    Pipping Eggs - Is Membrane too Dry?

    Thank you . I think I will leave it as the humidity seems to be raising (the incubator is steaming up). I am reluctant to open it and lose the humidity which the pipped chicks are relying on to soften the membrane so they can break through. I am very inexperienced so may need to ask you all...

    Pipping Eggs - Is Membrane too Dry?

    One has pipped face down onto the bottom of the incubator. What do I do in this instance? Will it right itself or is there possibility of suffocation?

    Pipping Eggs - Is Membrane too Dry?

    Thanks so much for the advice! I will keep watching and waiting. The Brinsea's water well doesn't hold much water and I can already see it getting low
