Day 23 Pips and no zips

[Firsttimecrazychicklady]

So I had 8 eggs in my incubator. 1 pipped and hatched on day 21 and I took her out once she fluffed up. Then yesterday day 22 I had 2 more hatch and 1 pip and start to zip for over 24hrs eventually helped that one last night, she's in the incubator exhausted sleeping and no really moving. But I had 3 others pip yesterday along with the hatch. The eggs rolled around with the newly hatched ones and I can't see the pips anymore. No movement or noise out of them today Day 23. Do you think they will hatch or has me opening the incubator to get the other chick out affected it? I have never had issues in the past or had to wait this long for them. they have always just hatched by themselves over 2 days

Make sure to keep it moist
Either coconut oil or Vaseline
I find the oil works best ti see veins but the Vaseline works best to keep it moist longer

It didn't make it. It must have run out of energy. There was a bit of blood over the rest of the egg so not sure what happened.
I have another with wry neck and she's spinning in circles and chirping like mad. Got some water with electrolytes in it into her but she wouldn't eat it. Any ideas on what to do with that? I've put her in the brooder

Made mashed up boiled eggs and she loved it!! Ate loads of it now to get her to drink a little

I doubt it.

I agree with Yard farmer. I hope the eggs are still alive

No movement on any of the eggs. So not expecting any more pips. No more pipped when I took them out. The chick that pipped is stuck and I chipped a bit of shell off and then moved a little membrane and it bleed so put a damp piece of tissue on the bleeding. Put it back into the incubator. Going to just wait and see what happens I had a very complicated hatch. Had to move the incubator before lockdown because we had a powercut and they were plugged out for about 30mins. Think it made a big difference.

Scrambled eggs and vitamin E help with wry neck
I don’t have my papers by me to remember the E dose but I’ll tag a few others

She's on her feet a little more today trying to get her feet under herself. She's got more energy so I'll get the vitamins today and hopefully she'll make improvements. Can't get her to eat the scrambled still it's like she doesn't know what to do. I am putting her beak into the sugar water to get her to drink that

Maybe try candling the remaining eggs to see if you see movement, if not they're quitters.
Good luck with them.

If the pip in now under the egg you can turn the egg back over

He will no longer be chewing
I how long ago did he start to zip
Is he still trying to or just done ?

Think he's just done but because he bled I stopped and put him back into the incubator

 

[Firsttimecrazychicklady]

Did you see any veins ?
It’s so hard to judge these guys

Yes little bit of red on the membrane so just took off some shell and then left the membrane in place
