egg i guess dead

[DragunzGirl]

Ok well the 5 out of 6 eggs did hatch. But that last egg i guess died in side

.. it has not hatched, im still giving it another day tho.

Is that normal for babies to die near hatching time, in the egg?

It's happened to many of us. The chick will be fully developed but just quit's. I don't know why but if 5 out of 6 hatched than you must of done something right. I wouldn't drive myself crazy trying to figure it out, I would enjoy playing with the one's that did hatch. Maybe someone with more experience might know why. PEACE

Many reason for chicks not making it out. eggs, not store and turn daily(yolk sticking to side of shell). To low humidity the last 3 days. Health and diet of breeding flock.(weak chicks) Shortage of fresh air (closing vents to raise humidity).
Most all have a few in most hatches. 5 out of 6 thats a 85% hatch rate. Very good hatch. Good job!!!
