I have a concern. I came home today to find Cappa off her nest, followed by one ameraucana chick and one coturnix quail chick. I went to her nest an found the eggs still quite warm, meaning she probably hasn't been off of them for more than a couple of minutes, and one egg in an external pip. It was alive and Peking at the egg. The other chicken egg and 2 or 3 quail eggs were fully developed but not pipping. Will Cappa go back to her nest? Will the pipper and the other eggs be alright? This is my first broody so I don't know much!

What causes a perfectly set perfectly turned egg to pip the wrong end? I was waiting for internal pips to lockdown. Didn't have any last night and had one this morning. Picked up #3 and it was very largely external pipped but in the wrong end. Its peeping and rolling in there so hopefully its ok, but I'm feeling like I should have locked down sooner for it. I've been running pretty dry about 28%. I cranked it up as soon as I noticed pips this morning. Just curious. And I wonder if there is anything to do but let it be... AND not only did it pip the bottom of the egg, it also pipped the underside. So upside down And backwards!

I have searched and searched until I was into reading stuff well well over my head, I keep getting the same stuff but without any reasons or facts. and as much as I am hatching I still cannot pin point it to any specific reasons or breeds either.
