The chick just rolled it again and I could see a good chunk exposed and then my chick pecked at it! Does this harm the hatching chick?? I couldn't tell if it was dead or alive cause it rolled so quickly

I had two eggs, one successfully hatched last night and one had pipped. But it's been over 24 hours and nothing. The chick inside knocked it face down so I can't see if the membrane is dry or not but I feel like it's been awhile and now it's not moving. Is it time to open and intervene?? I don't...

Anybody ? :/

I finally heard chirping last night but when I woke up this morning there was still no external pip. She did chirp this morning so I know she's okay. But when should I intervene and help make a hole if she doesn't? It's been about 12 hours

Today is day 21 of my chick incubation. Yesterday (day 20), one of the two eggs I have would move occasionally when I played videos of chicks chirping. It made no sounds, only moved. I figured today I might see a pip, but still nothing. I tried to play more videos to make sure they're alive and...

Only one :/ but I only had three eggs to begin with so that's not too bad for my first I guess. He chirps super loud though! Hehe

I was wondering if the rest of your five ever hatched? I'm going through the exact same thing

One of the three eggs I had hatched last night at 9:30. She had pipped 5 hours before and was out real quick. However none of the others have pipped. I saw one move yesterday, but nothing. She's still in there knocking everything around. It's mid day 22, should I remove her and candle them for...

If it hatches completely during the night, should I put it in the brooder after it dries, or is waiting til morning okay to put it in there?

Okay thank you for your reassurance!!

If I used a syringe to squirt water through the air holes and into the trough, would that help?

This is what the pip looks like

Okay. I know it's a bit soon because it just started, but I wanted to be sure. This is my first hatch and they are a bit late

I just got home and started talking to my eggs who still haven't hatched and before I knew it, there was a hole in one of my eggs! Right now it kind of looks like two slits but I can see a bit of white and it concerns me because I don't want the membrane to dry out but she chirped and is still...

You need to move the eggs upright where the pip is visible otherwise they will die trying to get out face down. As for the banging, I have no idea, but I know people have hatched like 15-20 together so I'm sure it is okay. Just take the chicks out as soon as they are dry and they won't be able...

Alright I'm thinking because my incubator is still air, that the temp of 99.5 may be delaying them a bit. I'm trying to increase it to 101 now but it seems to be slow

I'm tempted to open the bator enough to stick a syringe in there and tap on one of the eggs to see or hear any response, would this work? I've heard people taking the whole egg out to tap and hear but I don't want to disturb them any more than I have to. If I did tap, would it be loud enough to...

Did they ever hatch?

I've read a lot that chicks have hatched after day 21 but it still makes me uneasy knowing mine haven't even moved at all. today is day 21 and we have three great looking eggs that all had life on day 18. I'm just wondering why they haven't moved yet or if maybe they just won't hatch? How many...

Haha alright awesome. I'll continue to do that in the morning if still nothing :))
