Day 28 no pip

Day 28, no internal pip on last egg. It’s been trying to for the past few days but doesn’t look like it’s managed to pip internally, movements starting to slow down. Any advice? Air sack looks massive too.

It maybe malpositioned.

If that’s the case, what’s the best thing for me to do. All others have hatched. Just this one hasn’t. Hardly moving at all now and air sacks taken up half the shell. No internal pip yet either.

I only had one case of a malpositioned chick dying in shell. The rest managed to externally pip at the pointy end.

You can always gently chip away the shell at the pointy end, to see if the beak is located there.
If the beak is there, make a small hole in the membrane where the beak is so the chick can breathe. Since there's gonna be a somewhat large spot of membrane exposed, apply either Triple Antibiotic Ointment, or Coconut Oil, to keep the membrane moist.

Have all the others hatched? What breed?
Was this egg incubated in an incubator or under a broody hen?
If the former, was there an additionaI calibrated thermometer kept inside of the incubator?

How'd it go?
