I unplugged the bator with 4 unzipped eggs. I believe they were malpositioned. One zipped and died from ruptured yolk sac. Another pipped externally. It was malpositioned and missed the aircell. I assisted the hatch on day 22. Yolk was absorbed, but it is not doing well. It laid in the...
awe, I am sorry it didn't make it. I am worried about this one. I am so surprised it zipped. It is resting, unzipped. It has not pushed the shell off yet for me to see. I don't want to rush it, giving it the best chance to absorb what it can.

Evening update. This morning was full of excitement with 2 pips, one of which became a record setting speed hatch. Then things slowed to a near stop all day. Around 8 pm things started picking up again and we now have 6 more pips. Things look great as tomorrow is day 21!
Our second pip occurred about 15 minutes after the first. This little Brahma is in a hurry. It's been an hour and it's 3/4 zipped. The Wyandotte who pipped first has not started zipping. So exciting!
