Oh goodness I forgot to update! Fourth one hatched after we checked the egg for signs of life. Husband chipped a little eggshell off and moved a piece of membrane and a beak poked out and peeped at us. We scooted it back into the incubator and 15 mins later number 4 arrived.Sorry I'm way late to see this. Congrats on the three that hatched! So cute!![]()
How did the 4th one do?
I'd bookmark this link in case you hatch again and have this happen. Usually, if they don't hatch within 24 hours of pipping, it's safe to assume they may need help.

Very much the runt of the batch but currently the most feisty. All four are doing well!! Picture attached from early last week. They grow so fast!
