If you did get a pip in the wrong end I would only help as a very last resort not even looking at the egg for 12 hours. Opening the incubator messes with the humidity and could compromise the rest of your eggs. I believe in is it worth saving a chick that could be weak or sick and compromise the...

I think they will be fine I still turn mine in the turner. Try not to panic :hugs You can't change how the air cells are I'm afraid it is the risk that is taken with incubating shipped eggs. As long as you try to keep them upright you have done all you can to give them the best chance of hatching.
