12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[El Paso Linda]

I set 8 Cornex quail today, April 3 2021. My incubator's humidity sensor is broken. I use a Govee temp and humidity sensor to show me the correct humidity. My last hatch was very poor with only 2 living out of 10 fully formed chicks. I hope to better control the humidity for this hatch.

Our hatching is all done! And we went to the poultry swap today and I couldn’t resist buying these little ones! They were breeds I didn’t have and a great price so how could I not add them haha I love seeing everyone’s pictures!!! Although, I think it just makes me want more chicks. Addict problems...

First pip today! I have 3 pips!! Day 19, silkies. I went from 18 eggs (6 rainbow, 12 silkie) to 11 at lockdown. (5 rainbow, 6 silkie) had a 3 or 4 non fertile, and a few quitters. I don't want to go to bed and miss hatching!!

Whoot! Easter babies coming up!!

It's not stinky from the outside but I'm afraid to open the air cell and check because I think it may be stinky on the inside. I'm one to always check any late eggs, to either learn why they didn't hatch or assist if needed, buuuut, I really don't like opening stinkers, lol.

Go outside with it, downwind of your house, and touch it with a 10-foot pole

Help needed.
So my single pipper ( also have a quail fully hatched and fine so far) he was making zero progress for well over 24 hours. I noticed he seemed to be unusually placed in the egg by his mouth placement. The humidity went super low overnight and this morning I brought it back up but everything is stuck to this chick. They are peeping, show strong legs, but the left wig is stuck across the eye and neck. They can't stand properly because of balance and head being pulled down that way.
I've tried every few hours today to take warm water and work it in to losen the wing from the face and neck but it seems unmoving.
I've tried water and even a little dawn soap with the water. What might work better?
