Eggs in incubator day 19

Pics
Oh boy you have a sideways zipper? I don't know how to help that situation. Maybe he will figure it out. I have 18 hatched today. Only 2 eggs left. One of those 2 has internally pipped and the other has externally pipped. No movement beyond that on either. Might need assistance tomorrow. The chicks have all popped out on their own and seemingly healthy.
Congrats on such a successful hatch! They look great.
And good news, my horizontal zipper has managed... so glad, took ages but it's out and wobbling round the incubator just fine. So I think just 2 chicks left to come for me.

I do have 4 more eggs in there but they haven't pipped yet. I haven't candled them recently so I'm not sure what they're at.

That's good he made it out. I candled the one that hasn't pipped yet and I see no movement. There's one more that pipped but nothing since. I'm really hoping that one hasn't died and is just slowly absorbing yolk. By tomorrow I will assist both eggs and see if they are alive or dead.
 
My 19th chick finally hatched. One more egg to go but no pip. Pretty sure it's a late quitter.

My hatch is complete on day 20. 19 total hatched and the last egg did die. Was not internally pipped. Not sure what happened. It had absorbed the yolk too.

Well done on so many great hatches and chicks... sorry about the last one. I had 2 more hatch in the night. So that's 14 out of my 18 shipped eggs hatch.im chuffed with that. Will see if the remaining 4 change or not. I want investigate them until at least tmw morning so give full time I think.
 
One of my chicks seems a bit sick... every time it tries to move it puts its head backs and ends up falling over and lying on its back... other chicks peck it and it doesn't hardly move. When it does right itself it seems to sleep with its head at a funny angle and sort of falls back and has its wings out. I have tried to encourage it to drink sugar water but it wasn't interested. It is about a day and a half old and had been fine, moving around and feeding a bit. Other chicks all healthy atm and active. I've separated it in a little tub for the moment. Any ideas?
