Chick pushed hatching egg upside down?!

[The ChickInn egg supply]

The first chick has hatched and has been rustling all the eggs around. One was actively starting to pip/zip and he pushed it upside down against the side and the beat is stuck out and panting. It hasn’t made any progress and I’m worried it’s stuck because it’s in the wrong position. Thoughts? Should I move it? I’ll post a pic.

I think leave it be. It is getting oxygen. Panting is normal during the hatching process.

Here is a link about assisted hatching, just in case.

Good luck and congrats

Thanks! Another hatched and it’s moved back to another position.

How lucky are you?! Congrats on the second chick.

Yes, you will start to see eggs getting pushed around now that you have hatchlings. And I totally get panicking about it sometimes. Nothing to worry about, it’s completely normal.

You did the right thing by leaving the lid on and not trying to move the egg
