I didn’t wet my membrane at allThank you so much for your reply
Can I make the hole the same spot there it pipped ? Is it okay if I just peel off the shell part and open the membrane ?
I am a little worried as it hasn't made any progress or movement that I can see in the last almost 24 hourshope he didn't die in the shell
As for the other one pipped on the wrong end. Does the membrane look dry ?
It is not stuck on him or anything just feel like little peeled off the side of the shell
Shall I wet it ? It's still aborbing yolk as I can see his bill shake and open.
When my babies did hatch they were not dried inside the egg
Not stuck
The one that’s been 24 hours may take up to 48
If the air cell is smaller they will external pip faster as they need air but take longer to zip
If the air cell is big they may not external pip as fast
Some babies just get excited and pip faster then others
You can candle him to see if he is moving still
Edit to add
I just went back and looked at the picture
His pip is a little low closer to the end of the egg. I had this happen this batch I just did and had to help them out but they took longer just candle the egg above the air cell markings. You should be able to see veins as baby will have moved into the air cell more opening room into the egg to see
