yes there is just this one on lock down

i would make a safety hole if it was me, and check the membrane

Ugh, my incubator spiked to 102 last night

I stop turning tomorrow, so hopefully the chicks are still ok!

if it wasnt for very long they should be ok

Ugh. My Calls have made no progress even through its day 26. No external pipping, but quite a lot of rocking. I'm really worried about them- I guess I'll wait anouther day or two before candling them and maybe helping them a little.

a safety hole is you basically creating an external pip, take a nail, or tweezers and make a small hole where the beak *should* be

I candled a couple on day 23, before I put them into lockdown- both were alive and the air sacks were looking good, but no internal pips. I haven't candled them since.

ok that is what i was thinking but wanted to be sure. This will be the lowest point in the air cell correct? After i make the hole is there any certain things i should look for or do to i dont harm the baby if its miraculous alive?

Cool! Are your eggs jumping everywhere like mine are right now?
This is the incubator I am using and I love it, of course it is my first time incubating so I do not have much to compare to, but it has stayed stable, and out of 26 eggs, 25 have developed, we will see how many actually hatch....

Yep, in a month! Can't wait!
