He didn’t make it. I got home and he was dead I think he got shrink wrapped from opening the incubator for the other one because. He was stuck in the internal membrane . I didn’t want to interfere and make it worse but now I’m thinking I should have domes something... ugh hatching chickens is...

I have one that has broken through the shell and is 1/2 way out he’s been like that since yesterday afternoon. His breathing was starting to look labored when I left for work today. How much longer should I leave him if he hasn’t hatched by the time I get home at 10pm
2 hatched last night at some point one broke through the shell this morning and I’m just starting to hear chirps from a few of the others they were a few days behind
You can buy a cheap brooder pen from tractor supply or use a dog run pen to put babies in during the day.. have a run but I put my babies in a round dog pen during day and back in coop at night. I do this for about 2 weeks gets the old chickens used to them and gets them used to being outside...

Ok I put it in a yellow solo cup. I’m not sure why this happened all of my other chocks just magically hatched over night and this one just came out like this
Ok yellow solo cup. How long does it normally take to absorb? Do I need to be concerned at any point? It looks like the sack is twisted but I honestly have no idea what it should look like ... if she doesn’t absorb it what do I do? Sorry last question why did this happen all the other zipped and...
First time hatching. My other 4 took almost 20 hours from the time I saw the shell crack and were completely fine. This one cracked last night and now she’s like this . I don’t know what to do for her... I have 5 other eggs that are pipped so I don’t want to open the incubator unless I can...
So this is my first time and my eggs are all at different stages. My first chick hatched yesterday which I thought was only on day 17 and I thought it was a quitter. How do I know if the other chicks are coming? My hen stopped laying on her nest so I put them in the incubator but I didn’t see...
