chick has been attempting to hatch since before 5am

Yes the big fat end
Is that where the big pip is ?

Biggest pip is on pointy end.

Biggest pip is on pointy end.

Ok try picking back from the bigger pip
Baby is in the wrong position and could be why it’s trying to zip the long way
Is baby still alive ?

How did you make out
Is baby ok

I’m sorry
If this happens again and a baby zips then no progress or it zips the wrong way then you can start to help

Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it!
I incubated 12 eggs and four hatched, this one would have been number five. I didn’t expect it to hurt my feelings, I think it would’ve hurt less if he’d done like the other 7 eggs and never attempted to hatch.

It is hard when they are right there and pass
I lost a few from my first batch not knowing what I was looking for or how to help
I have learned a lot more since and I’m happy to try and help anytime I can
Enjoy the 4 little ones you have all babies are a blessing and joy

Yes indeed! These were from backyard, so kind of a test run. I have 2 BCMs & 10 Blue Americanos going in on Friday
