You must stop beating yourself up. We are here for you. You are new to this, most of us have had similar novice experiences along the way inone instance or another.... Relax, keep the membrane moist, remove the other chicks to the brooder with a heat lamp, food, water, and try to rest easy. You...
As with most of life, the timing is only an estimate. Every batch or birth has it's own set time for maturation. I'm so happy for you and your newborns. Congratulations!
