If it were me, I'd probably wait and make a viewing hole tomorrow if there hasn't been any progress.Ok I need opinions. What would you do - 5/6 eggs that entered lockdown have hatched. I was 99.9% sure the egg that hasn’t hatched was dead at lockdown, but last night it was wiggling all over the place! I tried Candling but it’s a very dark Marans egg with a horrible air cell that goes down the sides of the egg and is so wonky that I can’t even tell if there is an internal pip or movement. No more wiggling.
If it’s DIS I’d love to clean my incubator and set eggs that I have waiting but I don’t want to be too hasty. I’m hesistant to assist after having to cull 2 assisted chicks in the last 24 hours but I am dying to know what’s going on in that egg. Should I make a safety hole and wait until morning? Should I do nothing and leave it overnight? Should I make a viewing hole and do another potential assist? It’s day 21 so still early yet all the others are out. I’m learning I’m really bad at sitting on my hands. I know only I can make this decision but I’d love to hear what you would do.
