ETA - forgot to ask, are we waiting on 2 eggs? are they internally pipped?

Have you researched on poking an air hole for it?? Just a small hole on the aircell tip of the egg. I have done that before with chicken eggs. There are no veins on that tip so no danger of making it bleed. Just curious if it is something that can be done?

I gave it a small air hole on Monday (day 53) about 1/8".

Only the one egg is good. I realy need to pull the other one out. It has never done anything.

 

[daisychick]

Oh I didn't know you already did an airhole for it. I wonder if you could make the hole a little bigger and peak in and see what the heck is going on in there. I know you tried to help the other one and it didn't go good. Geez what a hard situation just waiting and not knowing. And I thought hatching chicken eggs was stressful.

I tend to agree with daisychick. Its just that there seems to be less and less movement. I know you feel bad about the first, but I'd still try enlarging that hole.

Thats what I want to do. But I'm so scared I'm going to kill it.

If you have already put a small hole in the top, enlarging it a little to be able to see into it won't hurt it. There are not any veins at the aircell tip of the egg. If the aircell has formed properly there should be a gap there from the tip of the egg to the inner membrane, like an open empty spot. I sent you a message.
