Chick in air sac..this ok?

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

I have a egg about to hatch and when I candled yesterday the chick's head was 1/2 way into the air sac...tonight it's head is fully in the air sac. Is this ok...It's still moving around and alive. It's day 21 tomorrow. I have never candled on day 20 before so I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

Yes...that's where it's supposed to be, but you really shouldn't be opening the bator and messing up your temps and humidity at this point in time!!

The humidity only went down to 60 % and it was VERY hot in the house so the temps stayed up there too

I was mixed up on hatch dates and thought he was a day over hatch and so I candled to see if he was still alive. He hasn't pipped yet. I will be sure to keep it closed till he hatches.

That IS so hard tho! Glad to hear that is normal
