everyone! It’s been a mission, it’s 24 hours after he pipped and he hadn’t zipped at all. We know you arnt meant to help them hatch but it was our only option. As we started we could see the entire membrane was completely dried out so we were just in time! And it worked! We assume the humidity...
They are silkies, they were posted to us on Tuesday arrived Friday the 1st so we let them rest for 24 hours and they went under at like 8am on the 2nd.
There has been no improvement no noise or the eggs moving so we massaged the lady we got the eggs from and she said we could try lightly sprinkling water over top to soften the shell a little bit just incase they can’t peck their way through. Not sure if it will work but will keep you guys updated!
When we candeled them it was quite hard to see movement but it looked all black/dark except for a light spot at the top which we assume is the air bubble.
They are all kind of starting to smell a tiny bit so we are starting to loose hope, when we candeled them they looked fully developed so what could have killed them? And could they maybe smell a little because they laid next to rotten ones? Thanks
