If you read my postings yesterday, you can see that I assisted a chick hatch, partially. I saw blood and stopped. I wrapped her and her shell in a warm wet cloth and left her in the incubator, today she was more active, pushing on the shell and chirping, so I opened the bator and wet her eyes...
Hello!
I had 12 eggs set. 3 hatched with no issues. I moved them to the brooder this morning. I then proceeded to candle and float the remaining eggs to check for life. None appeared to be alive. I decided to do an eggtopsy, all were dead beside 1, as I began to open it, I noticed breathing...
Hello!
We have 12 eggs in our bator. Today is day 23. We had 3 hatch yesterday on day 22. One in the morning around 11, then around 430 and last around 7pm. This morning those 3 are all fluffed up running around the bator. I have no more pips! I'm getting worried nobody else is going to hatch...

What should I do? It's been a few hours and its not out yet. I can see it breathing, but I now see feathers. I can't tell where it's beak is? It's been zipping its way around.
Today is hatch day. I have only seen 1 egg rock, and that was yesterday. I haven't observed it move today. No signs of anything going on in there. I'm nervous nothing will hatch! This is my first!!!
Hello!
Today is day 21 on incubating. I moved my incubator upstairs because I had a hard time getting the humidity up. Now it's up where it should be, but when I moved it, I caused an egg to roll :( now I'm not sure what to do? Will it not be able to hatch if the air sac isn't up? I can't tell...
