Day 21 and no pips

[GambleFamilyHomestead]

Can anyone help my chick hat he'd but the sac is still attached. He is moving breathing and has opened eyes and beak, but no chirping. What do I do now.

Did your chick survive? And do you still need more help?

by your calculations how many days are you at now? if 23 or 24, max I'd give them one more day, how many do you have left.

I am guessing we are on 23 or 24 since I ended up putting them in right away instead of letting them sit for a day or 2. I have 11 left that haven't hatched.

Well I called it today. No other hatched. I got home from work and I have 1 chick that is not going to make it. I don't know what I did wrong. Kinda feeling like a failure here. I want to get another batch of eggs and try again, but I don't know what I did wrong.

Sorry to hear about the little ones. It's hard when that happens, did you open one or two and see if they even started to develop? One in one of my hatches, I believe was what they refer to as shrink wrapped. Another quit I'd guess about 7 to 10 days in.

They were pretty far in. When I candled at lockdown, they were alive and moving.
