She seems to be doing well and I'll def look into that save-a-chick. I usually feel boiled egg yolk and put vitamins in their water but again I've never had such a weak hatch. Thanks for the info! I originally had them in my Rcom mini and although I've vacuumed it out and cleaned it to death...

Well, I have good news and bad news. What's interesting is who survived! I ended up just taking out the upside down, almost bled to death chick this morning. The membrane was completely dry and he/she was ready to go, just couldn't get out. Surprisingly, this one survived. The one that was...

The beak is black. It's a black Silkie and yes it can breathe thank God. I can see it clearly poking through.

Will do thanks! Yeah it's still ok for now but I definitely won't touch it until I can see dried up vessels. I really hope this ends with pics of live, happy chicks. I'll let you guys know what happened either way. It's a learning experience for all of us.

Sorry if it's hard to tell. The claw is covered in blood and the dark spot you see further into the egg is the beak, not a shadow.

Well the one that caused itself to almost bleed to death is definitely upside down. I thought it was the beak that came through at the top but it was a claw! I was forced to make a bigger hole to stop the bleeding and I could see the beak pipped on the wrong end. So this one will need full...

Well still no progress with the internally pipped chick but I may possibly lose the one that just tried 10 min ago. It managed to pip through the membrane but it hit a vessel. It started to bleed like crazy! I got it stopped and it's still chirping but omg! Talk about a scare, to be honest...

I'll definitely keep you updated. You could be right about the temp. Although it "shows" to be fine, my incubator started making a funny noise 3 days ago. Just in case, I moved them to my larger incubator that I know doesn't have problems. I cut a paper cup down to the bottom and filled it...

The chicks are now 33 hours overdue. I made a hole safely for the one that had internally pipped and it has started chirping. I made a hole for the other as well, passed the float test but barley moving on it's own and no chirping. I candled before I did this and the one that has internally...

Help! I've hatched many eggs just the past couple of years and I've never had late eggs before. I've had a couple hatch upside down and helped them with no further complications. Thing is, I have a couple of eggs that are going into a day overdue and one hasn't even internally pipped not to...
