ok so the Bananas egg might need some help. Any advice is welcome. She is still peeping and moving her beak around. I think she is running out of steam as it were. How can I help her?

This egg to the back, shipped eggs in incubator, is a LO egg. I saw it wiggle earlier today. I told myself maybe i made the floor wiggle. I looked at it again just now, I was very still and cooed into the incubator, it rocked. I stopped, the egg stopped. I cooed again, and it rocked again, it is so cute.

Has it pipped? If so give it time. As long as it can get air it should be ok. It may still be absorbing yolk and veins.

Some pics of the chicks, I will try to get better ones before they head to their home. I love how there are "twins" but each one is slightly different. The black ones are hard to tell but like one has a red face, one has a more yellow beak, ones beak is all black... Then my favorite color one is the only one with that coloring

Pipped, but every time I come around she moves her beak around and says,"Let me out!"
How do I get her out? Is there any specific way I should do it? Or can I just peel the shell and zip her out? Please respond sooner than later!

If she is moving her beak she may be absorbing the yolk. They look like they are chewing or yawning when absorbing the yolk. How long ago did she externally pip?

In the afternoon, around 1:30. I tried zipping for her but she bled so I dabbed the bleeding with a damp paper towel. Back in the 'bator!

you can also put flour on the blood, it is good you stopped when there was blood. I try to talk people out of helping, some people will try and help if there is no pip just the egg churping.
