Last egg left in the incubator. I noticed when I took chicks out that it was chirping and there was a hole on the bottom I didn't notice. Chick has gotten about this far in the process as shown in the photo.
It's got it's beak sticking out, but hole has been the same size for about 2 hours with no progress. Is it possible it's shrink-wrapped? When I took the chicks out I didn't remove the lid completely. I just lifted the end closest to the chick high enough to fit my hand into to grab them. This was for two chicks, so the lid was cracked open for maybe 20-30 seconds. I did up the humidity to around 85%. I also upped the humidity before I cracked the lid open How long should I leave the chick alone before trying to help him finish? This is the last viable egg left in the incubator on day 21.
