What is your humidity? Are you concerned maybe the membrane is making it so he can’t get out?

Yes! The membrane is going brown and looks dry on the top. My humidity is at 77 right now

Mine has been around there too and it seems good but honestly I don’t know as this is my first time. What is the other egg doing?

How’s it going?

How’s it going?

Hey! I have a egg thats externally pipped today and when I could see the membrane going dry I just used a q tip and gently dapped a little bit on coconut oil and it worked perfectly and he is doing so good

This is him now. It looks like he keeps trying to push out. But is still making chewing motions. I really don’t know what to do for the best. I don’t want to lose him.

This is what mine is doing to

How long has yours been pipped? What are you planning on doing?

He has only been pipped since 12 pm today I’m just gonna wait and keep applying the coconut oil so he doesn’t get shrink wrapped but if they are making chewing movements with there beak they are most likely still absorbing there yolk so I don’t wanna risk assisting to early. how long has yours been pipped?

Mine has been pipped around 48 hours. It’s 2.45am here (not sure where you’re from) I have set an alarm to wake me every 30 mins. Nothing is happening. He seems a little quieter so I’m going to wait another 30 mins and see if I can help him if he hasn’t perked up.
I really don’t know what I’m doing!

Also I have no coconut oil, I have Vaseline or olive oil. Could I use one of these?
