Question.... 8 hours ago I candled the non-pippers, one in particular has a really bad saddle air sac, and it looked like she internally pipped, she was cheeping like crazy and I could see a pointed shadow on the more developed air sac side. I placed her with that side facing up. Checked her again 2 hours ago, still chirping/moving, no pip anywhere tho. I'd like to help if I can, especially since seramas dont have the best hatch rates. At how many hours should I be worried that she hasnt pipped/how many hours til I help her pip?
My other two I noticed pipped and did nothing for 7 hours, then I started opening their shell by tiny pieces and applied coconut oil every hour. My last hatch I had 4 that pipped then died, and 3 that were alive and died with internal pips, it was heartbreaking :/ I realize seramas just do that sometimes, but I'm hoping to turn the tide on this hatch.... started with 24 eggs, now I have 9, it's been rough, I might be a little desperate
