    My first hatch and it pipped in the wrong spot...

    I have my heat up now for the lil chicks too. Oil is going fast! I have her in an aquarium tank and a 250 w bulb and a stuffed friend.

    Thanks. Looks like the lil chick is alone for a bit. All my other eggs quit...I think they got stuck from the saddle air sack...It is sad :( But, I am very happy this one is seemingly okay. And the pipes on this little one! I got it a snowman stuffed animal and it stands on top of it and...

    Into the incubation area now. Seems to be doing well. I candled the rest and they are not moving around, no chirping, no nothing...not quite sure what to do with them. Day 22 started 8 hours ago.

    He is doing well today. I will post a better pic once he is freed from the incubator. Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, he is alone still!

    I actually took those through the bator window. It's a great way to share with pictures instead of descriptions...lol I have a fuzzy butt! He was totally stuck in that shell. I had to peel every piece off. Looks pretty good except for the butt~ Thank you all soooooooooooooooo much!!!!!

    My first hatch and it pipped in the wrong spot...

    Poor lil guy had his beak ^ head all hidden under his wing. The membrane was ridiculous...I can see why he was stuck. So, his head is free now and a wing. I left him to rest and hopefully push out. I think I will help him again in an hour or so and finish the job if he doesn't get rid of his...

    My first hatch and it pipped in the wrong spot...

    In the last pic...the beak pokes through the hole at 4o'clock position...but just the tip. Is there a certain amount of time between assists??? I am running about every 2 hours or so... (Which feel like a decade)

    My first hatch and it pipped in the wrong spot...

    Hour 27 after pip...Boy, I am really hoping for the same happy ending...The blessed little chick is still alive...still chirping and hasn't kicked free. I think it is just stuck...I wasn't sure about trying to remove more of the membrane where the pip was so it could get out more beak....problem...

    My first hatch and it pipped in the wrong spot...

    I pulled off two very small pieces towards the air cell. I can't tell whether or not those are vessels or coloring...but, you can see his little beak there. He's singing right now in a whistling sound...sounds like a bird outside. Just happy to hear him. The membrane is definitely on the...

    Perfect, thank you. I have nothing but time planned for the hatch today. My only other concern was messing up the rest of the hatch by opening the incubator. But, temps and humidity seemed to be within range at 7:30 am when I moved the little guy before.

    My first hatch and it pipped in the wrong spot...

    Would you try and peel from the bottom of the air sack because it's a saddle air sack and kinda close to the pip. Or would you just take another small piece of shell off in the pip area and re-assess?

    My first hatch and it pipped in the wrong spot...

    Thank you for your answer. I had read through that link so many times but was confused. In one area it said if it was chirping leave it alone. In another, if it was over 12 hours probably stuck and needed help. So, at 7:30 am..I pulled him out. He had been poking his beak through the same pip...
