So I had my first hatch this week. They hatched Wednesday and Thursday. I just noticed that one of my chicks eyes are completely shut. It is eating and drinking fine and the other chicks don’t seem to be messing with it but it’s worrying me. What should I do?
Today is hatch day. I had 11 eggs. 6 babies hatched yesterday and seem really healthy, 1 pipped, and 4 haven’t done anything. The 1 that has pipped I can see is breathing but hasn’t done anything since around 3 yesterday. Should I help it? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Today is lockdown day!! My humidity is at 30 and temp is 99.5. I candled a few last night to see where the air sack is because last time I tried incubating my air sac was small and my chicks didn’t make it. Do I need to increase my humidity at all? Here is a picture of my eggs. Any info would be...

Today is day 24 with my eggs in my incubator. I have kept the temp at 99.5 and humidity at 50-70%, automatic egg turner, candled them at day 8 and 18 and discarded the ones that were not alive. Took them out of the turner at day 18 and put them on lockdown. They haven’t pipped or anything...
I am new to incubating, I have kept my temp at 99.5 and humidity between 50-60%, lockdown at day 18, and increased the humidity to 65%. Today is day 22 and I haven’t even noticed movement. I don’t want to open it and chance losing them all! Any advice? Please help! I am extremely anxious!
