Thanks, but I got to him too late. I opened the air cell end first, and he was already dead. It looks like he died around last night, or sometime yesterday. He was indeed in the wrong end of the egg, along with it looks like a few scratch marks that looks like he was trying to get out.
It's been a while, and because of the scattered hatches, I took a look at the egg again. (I didn't think it would really affect the others too much at this point.) He's still totally upside down. I put down the wrong date, and he's actually about a day away from hatching. Is there anything I can...
Sorry. I decided to make another topic here, seeing as people might have more experience here. And this place is way more active.

Oh, thank you. At least I'm not the only newbie then. I'll have to keep you all updated on my eggs then~ Maybe a few people will enjoy seeing the pictures at least. And I actually just collected another Cockatiel egg. (While almost getting bit, of course.)
Hi. I'm Holly, and I'm your not so typical teenage girl. I've taken up the hobby of hatching and raising assorted types of birds. Some may think they're smelly, but they're my life. <3 (I also can't smell anything. :P)
