Chick is dead after pipping?

[Chickenlover106]

So my eggs are currently on day 21. Only few hatched so far. And I saw this one pipped egg that isn't moving. The chick inside doesn't seem to respond when I tap it. Is it dead? I might had the humidity too high. Is there a possibility that it drowned? It already pipped so.. I'm really confused rn.

And I don't see it breathing either

How big of a pip? (can you see it or is it just a tiny crack?) Yes, it is possible to pip and still drown, or it may be stuck or just resting. Hard to say. I would just give it more time.

How long ago did it pip? As mentioned, it could just be tired. It takes alot energy to break out of the shell.

The pip is actually quite big. It's not just a small crack. I'm guessing it got stuck?

 

[Chickenlover106]

It's been more than 24 hours I believe

Update: I removed the shell. I'm 100% sure it's dead. It's no longer breathing.

Oh dear. What a sad loss. You'll never know exactly what went wrong.

How are you're the eggs looking?

One time I had one do that that was mal positioned and broke through into the albium instead of the air sac, another mal positioned that was hatching and was mal positioned and pecked into the yolk and severed the umbilical that was bleeding before he got out. But why are you opening the incubator while they are hatching more times than not they get shrink wrapped and cannot get out doing that as they cannot move they get over tired and just give up as hatching is hard work in the first place. I know from experience with that when I first started have since learned to curb the urge to medal and wait instead of trying to help one and loose the others just helping one.
