    Help did i went wrong with this hatch?

    Thank you everyone who helped me! Quick update, unfortunately the three eggs didnt make it. Up until today there were no signs of life, zero movement, no heartbeat. So we decided to pull the plug on the incubator. I did an autopsy on one of them and they were the wrong side up, but really far...

    Help did i went wrong with this hatch?

    Thank you sooo much for the extensive reply. I will give them some more time. I am going to remove the chick that hatched so i can keep a closer eye on them. She has been bowling a bit so its hard to check if they move. I realise they could need more time, but i ve also read that they should...

    Help did i went wrong with this hatch?

    I will candle again and look for a head. Considering that chick made it that way, is there any point at which i should help the chicks if they are the wrong side up? maybe make a tiny hole in the narrow part so the could hatch without the airsack aswell?

    Help did i went wrong with this hatch?

    First phase was 40-50% hum. and 37.5 C Lockdown at 70% hum and 37.7 Is there something i could do now? or check whether they still have a chance? The chick that did hatch actually pipped near the narrow side. Is that an indication that she was wrong side up aswell? airsack was in on the other side

    Help did i went wrong with this hatch?

    Hi everyone, I had 6 viable eggs in the lockdown. One pipped 24 hours ago and hatched 12 hours ago. The other eggs havent done anything. Now I read that you should actually put them in the incubator with the narrow end of the egg down, opposite of what i did. Might the chicks be in the eggs...
