HI all, this is my first post. I have been browsing the site for a long time but today I need some help. I am in the process of hatching 4 eggs. Today is day 24. 3 of the 4 hatched perfectly, however #4 is not making progress.
Egg 4 is currently alive because I can hear her cheeping. I believe this is a malpositioned hatch. The pip did not occur where it should have instead, it was on the tip of the small end. I can see chick move inside and I can hear the Cheeping. There were no abnormalities during candleing that I could see but again, I am a rookie. This is my first hatch.
How long should I wait before helping this chick? I chipped away a bit of the shell around the pip and tried to peal the outer liner to get a peek. There was a small amount of blood from the edge of thetear so I stopped and the blood did too shortly thereafter. I have read the thread by sunshine and I am just not sure what to do. Any ideas? Thanks
Josh
