36 hours after external pip and minor progressing, what should I do?

[DanaBrown80]

Hello, I’m seeking advice, I have 3 fertile chicken eggs, one pipped 36 hours ago, (from when I first saw it) and has slowly been chipping away at a hole, chirping and picking its beak out. Not sure how long to wait to intervene?

Second egg pipped and there is blood around the area, there is some movement and a little bit of chirping, is this wee one going to make it?

The 3rd one hasn’t done anything yet. Any advice welcomed. Thank you

What day is it? It looks like the membrane is starting to dry. I'd add a little bit of coconut oil to get it moistened again. If there hasn't been any progress in the next 12ish hours you made need to assist. The Article 'Guide to Assisted Hatching for All Poultry' has really helpful directions if it comes down to it. Best of luck!

Thank you, it was day 22, the chick hatched unassisted 6 hours later, seemed to be in a hurry and hadn’t fully absorbed the yolk. The blood one has also been putting some decent effort in now

Congrats on your hatch!


If the yolk is small it should absorb on it's own soon. Hopefully the other two hatch as well.
