Bloody Pip?

[JD]

I have one that pip and it was a little bloody. I did bring it out to look to see if it was alive and I know it's a no-no. I picked a little of the shell away and he look ok for now and peeping away. Are there any other concerns? I keep checking to see if he is alright. My humidity is staying at a constant 72% with two pipping. When I open the Suro20 I mist on squirt just to be safe and with the Suro it just only take a second to regain the humidity. This is the first time I've ever seen a little blood at the pip. Think he will be ok?

Since you took him out I would make sure the membrane remains moist, maybe put a warm,damp paper towel close to the egg?

I just look at him with a flashlight and the membrane is staying moist and still moving around. The other pip is doing real good and the humidity is still holding at 72%.

Sounds like it just pipped through a vein that still had a little blood in it. It should be fine.
