Have you smelled that egg? That doesn't look viable, it looks like the one I had that was rotten and pure liquid inside.

@HollowOfWisps Would you have any advice to offer?

Update..... I think he is trying to internally pip?? Any thoughts?

Can you see movement inside the egg when you candle it?

 

[BitsyDUCK]

Yes 2 eggs look like the pic above. The beaks are moving back and forth like they have not broke through to the air sac.... the beaks look so small though....

Is this your first hatch? From the picture it looks like an internal pip and the air cells are fine. They get huge usually a day before your see an external pip. I would just leave them be at this point and let them do their thing. Did you have a pre-calibrated analog hygrometer and thermometer inside your incubator? Relying on the onboard instruments alone can delay a hatch as they're often innacurate. Not to mention they technically are not even late yet and it isn't abnormal to sometimes have one or two that hatch 1-2 days late.

Yes this my first hatch..... I made a horrible mistake this morning..... the humidity dropped by 15 percent so I took eggs out to candle to make sure there is still movement.... as I was putting the eggs back I I noticed 2 externally pipped! Did I hurt them??
