This egg was due last weekend and It was a black or blue molted duccle. I left it in the bator for another week, and ten we decided to open it. I wanted this chick to hatch the most, so If you could tell me what happened That would be great.

So I went into lockdown yesterday, and I put my eggs in the bottoms of eggcartons. I heard that you are suppose to cut the bottoms of each little egg slot so the egg can breath. I forgot to do this. Is it absolutly nesassairy to cut them, because I am already in lockdown and I dont want to risk...
Is it ok that I take out my 3 chicks of the bator when there are still two eggs in the bator? Im pretty sure one made a pip this morning but it hasnt done anything else all day. And the other egg has done nothing but yesterday it showed signs of movment. Will I shrink wrap the chicks if I take...
My chick has been in the zip process for a while. It looks like she could easily get out but she is only puching not pecking. She has been in the same position for like a hour and a half, and im not sure she is going to make it. She is a serama. Two other chicks are out. What do i do!! help her???
Is it ok that the chick is moving around the other eggs? There is a white jelly looking thing on the top of his/her head, is that ok? Is it ok that the chick cant walk? Is 24 hours the longest the chick can be in the bator with the other eggs that havnt hatched? What if the chick is in longer...
My eggs are hatching today! Me and my sister woke up to a very loud peep and we are so excited! One egg (bbs standard cochin) has piped (YAY) but the pip is on the small side of the egg. Is this ok? I know that we have been hand turning these eggs so i thought that might have something to do...

I have a bator on day 14. I candled the eggs last night. On day 14 i believe you really arn't suppose to see anything, and the egg when it is lit up should be like black, or normal, or you cant see inside, is this correct?
So, out or 12 shipped eggs, 5 were all black which I am planning n...

So, I am borrowing a hova bator styrofoam incubator from my friends. Last night i set it up and the temp was pretty steady at 99.5. I let it run over night and I woke up and it was at 99.5. This morning i put in the eggs. Little did I know that whenever i check it it is usually at 99.5 but...
