Eggs are not moving.... Lockdown Day 20

[FortCluck]

Pip is right under my air cell marking from day 18... Should I be concerned yet?

No, just let the chick do it's thing. It can take up to 48 hours for them to come completely out after they externally pip.

Don't help! I never will assist a chick again even though I was sucessful, it really doesn't help to assist a weaker chick or one that wouldn't thrive in the real world.

Just gotta let it do its thing. If its meant to survive then it'll come out on its own.

Good morning! So, the little chickie has been working away on getting itself free. We are now on hour 19 and there is a good size hole. I’m hoping for some zipping now. I can see why people want to step in to help but at this point, I’m hoping for the lil guy to do its thing. I see the lil beak working away, a few chirps here and there. Humidity is at 65-67 and membrane doesn’t look tan and dried out but hoping it’s moist enough to push through and not get stuck.... nerve wracking!!

It’s been in this state for a few hours now... still active, but not exactly chipping away at a high rate. Normal?& I have temp at 98.8. Too low?

i always keep my temp at 99.5
