It didn’t make it😢 but the other one pipped on its own and was also malpositioned so now it hatched on its own but has a navel hernia. Praying for this little one. This hatching thing is such an emotional rollercoaster.

After a long hatch and malpositioned wrong end start. The little chick got out 😊 After watching it drag around part of shell around I cut the clear cord away from body, but it now looks to have a hernia. What can I do about this? I’ve read Iodine tincture? Prep H medicated cream? I just hope...

So its still about the same position tonight, it has been peeping, so that should mean that it can get enough oxygen right? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I'm giving this one the best chance I can. Humidity is 75% and I did put a little coconut oil on the membrane showing...

Thank you for your help. So one of the last two have now pipped but again this one is malpositioned but unzipping or at least trying to on its own. I've read they can take up to 24 hours to unzip when they are malpos. Any advice?

So my eggs hatch days are spaced a little apart. First hatched last Saturday. A few have died in shell or after trying to help. I don’t want to touch these last two. One is on day 23 the other day 20. However the incubator water looks dirty from the first egg that hatched and now starts to...

It didn’t make it. 😢 Was moving beak like it was breathing for quite a few hours but then it just stopped. when examined yolk sac was very prominent still, not sure it would have made it. Two more eggs left. Hoping these come on their own and don’t die.

So it’s been about 4 hours since I opened a small hole in internal membrane and baby is still moving but beak hasn’t come through hole. Is it ok to just leave like that or should I make sure beak has pipped all the way out of inner membrane?

Found his beak. Should I attempt to make hole in inner membrane so it can breath?

It’s a yellow chick I think from Buff Orpington. I’ll check more for a beak/head. Should I take it out of incubator for this? I’m in Florida so I took it outside on clean table so humidity was high while opening egg. I still have two other eggs in incubator that haven’t pipped either.

I have not opened the inner membrane, I’m afraid I will hit a blood vessel. Should I find the beak and try to open around it or wait for vessels to dry up more.

So This is my first hatch in still air incubator. With 8 fertile eggs, we’ve had one hatch. One pipped malpositioned, and didn’t make it. 3 others never pipped, I checked and all were close to hatch but didn’t make it. I have two that are at day 23 and one at day 19 ( we collected at different...
