pip at wrong place

Please help! I’m a suuuper nervous silkie mama. PLEASE SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM- STILL NEED HELP! I have 4 viable eggs (3 silkie, one bantam) in the incubator (a RCom 10 pro). (only 2 looking like there's movement) One egg has been extremely active throughout and has pipped (it’s day 20 in the...

I have attached a picture of the egg in my incubator. I’m worried she won’t be able to get out because the pip is at the bottom. I’m so scared because this is my first time hatching eggs. Should I turn the egg? Will it be ok?? (Also this is a bantam egg) you can barely see the little hole it...

When do you assist? I’ve read through all of these, but I’m so nervous to hurt or kill the one that is currently in progress with no issues. So, does the one pipping at the wrong end need help? Or wait? It pipped about 4.5 hrs ago. I haven’t seen it move at all. It’s a very large egg. I know...

Hi there, I have 8 eggs on lockdown (temp 99.5 humidity 65%) they’re just entering day 21. These are shipped eggs with wonky air cells so I’ve been following instructions to incubate them upright. I woke up this morning to find one egg had a pip but the pip is just barely above the cut down egg...

This chick is peeping away loudly. But she pipped on the top of the shell, outside of the air space. I tried to show as best I could with these pics. I'm new to this and have attempted to navigate the flow chart of when to intervene and how but honestly I'm really tired and worried I'm not...

Hi y’all! Our welshie eggs have started hatching and I have one that has externally pipped BELOW the air cell. The shell is broken from that area, but doesn’t appear membrane has. I haven’t seen a bill or anything come out, but chick is working on it. Do I need to make a breathing hole in the...

Help! I am incubating duck eggs for the first time. I went to start lockdown but one of the eggs was an early bloomer and already had an external pip. By the time we turned off the rotator, filled the humidity wells, and put the egg back in the incubator it had been out for about 3 minutes. It...

I’m not sure how this happened, but ive been aiming for 70-80% humidity in my incubator. The lowest it has gone is 66%. We are at Day 14, and air sacs are pitifully small. Is there any way to fix this? Take humidity WAAAAY down for a while? I’m desperately trying to preserve the genetics of a...

Incubating duck eggs. And a few days ago I was advised to run dry till first external pip. My hair cells were very small. But now were on day 29 for welsh harlequin eggs and they haven't internal piped. I can tell they are trying. I could see it for the last 24 hr. So continue running dry or no...

Hatching ducklings and went to put on lockdown (day 25) and I noticed one had pipped. He’s been making very little progress and it’s been 36 hours. Is he just not ready yet since he pipped early? He also pipped at the wrong end. And advice??? Two other eggs have internal pip and 2 more haven’t...

First of all, I'm sorry for posting so much, I feel helpless with these. I have 7 duck eggs altogether, 3 left to hatch within the week. 2 piped yesterday morning, 1 of those got itself half out but is just sitting in the shell resting, I don't think it's absorbed all its yolk and the second...

So I have 6 RIR eggs in a small table top, relatively cheap incubator (I have to turn and monitor humidity/temp myself - no biggie), but since I put them in after lunch to begin their incubation, today after lunch would have been the start of day 18 - Lockdown. So, this morning when I woke up...

I see a pip not at airspace and chicken is still chrping. This is day 21 and I am in confusion on what to do on this. Will nature take its action with this type of pip? I see some red membrane at pip.
