    Help, please! It's been 24 hours since first pips

    I'm a newbie with silkies and just had my first one hatch in the incubator!! (From my silkie hen's very first eggs). I am a bit concerned about the other two eggs that have pipped but no progress. They both pipped yesterday morning, and one poked a hole through so I was hopeful and thought that...

    Help! Pip no zip. Assisted. Blood vessels still showing.

    I had a broody hen leave her nest early. I made a make shift incubator with a heating pad and tub as soon as I realized. She has successfully hatched one chick and was taking care of it but left the other eggs too soon. This one has a pip and I could hear it chirping when I found it. I patiently...

    Advice please, pip 26+ hours ago, no progress.

    Hello, I’m relatively new at incubating (this is my second round). I have 3 eggs on day 22, 1 chick has fully hatched (it went from first pip to hatching in 18 hours). The other two chicks pipped 6 hours before that chick (who has now hatched), with very little progress over the last 15 hours...

    Day 25! 3 eggs started pipping. Two have hatched. One is still trying but has not absorbed its yolk sack. This started with a post about what to do with a delayed hatch. This portion is about the late hatching. Here's the other thread...

    Please Help - Super weak baby chick!

    Hi all, I had a broody hatch out 5 chicks, and one was still in the egg a day after the rest. Because momma is flighty and was already taking breaks off the nest, I took this one inside and popped it in the incubator hoping it would finish the hatch. I ended up having to assist the hatch, but...

    HELP: What should I do next???

    I think there isn't anything else I can do ??? This egg never lost the weight even though low humidity and daily cooling and spritzing. Honestly, didn't think it would make it this far. About 12 hours ago I noticed that it externally pipped, NOT in the air cell. (This egg with abnormally...

    Help! Quail is stuck in egg and has become motionless. This is a bit of an emergency.

    We are almost through with day 18, and i saw the external pip 12 hours ago. The pip is tiny, and even with chick sounds in the background, i see no movement anymore. It has been 3 hours since the last wiggle or sound. I checked humidity and temp and it is stable. What do i do?

    Hi everyone. I have one egg left out of 18 - a combination of shipped and local call duck eggs.

    Can eggs crack when positioning themselves for hatching?

    I’ve already posted about the same clutch (different issue) last thread. I’ve never experienced anything like this with all different types of eggs I've hatched. I have been hatching some lovebird eggs and this clutch seem to have an issue. Im not sure if the parents are calcium deficient since...
