Sounds like we were in the same boat! I had to the cord on mine! Mine must just be bratty BC she tried to snip at the chick. My dad said "that's what they do" scared the crap outta me that's what it did! I left the other 3 eggs to give her another chance so idk what's gonna happen to them...
My parents just left(I'm 30y.o.) to see how my chicks were! My dad used the excuse of bringing an extra light incase mines goes out (ha-we have a bunch, and to bring my grandpa's incubator (didn't know he had one). They showed up at a quarter to eleven unannounced, which I found odd BC he's...
Thank u! Yes it very upsetting! If she is going to attack them while they have a shell to protect them I'd hate to see what she would do it without I tried to out the chick with her when I noticed the other egg *sigh* so the first one is doing great the other one is too considering. So glad I...
So chick A is doing good. Unfortunately I have a chick B to look after. Something told me to go check on the 4 eggs as one had pipped this a.m. and there it was smashed flat and bleedind from top and bottom. If its going to die, I'm not going to stand by and not try to help. So feeling a lil...

. I'm on day3 of this dilemma and chick is still alive! I live in southern Louisiana where is hot and humid as all heck. I have it wrapped in damp cloth to keep moist and in the heat. I'm just letting it do it's thing. Good luck!!!! Oh I also dipped a qtip in bacitracin ointment and gently...
More of the shell has chipped away as it is still moving but looking further I noticed a penny size of yolk sack still at the pointy end but a foot is sticking out, what are her chances of survival?! :(
And when I noticed she was building a clutch she already had 3 eggs so not sure which one was first. They are all her eggs and will not hatch the same day.
