First Time Egg Candler Scared!

Nevermind about the membrane it looks good. I heard him chirp back to my chick that already hatched, and then again. I hope he can do this by himself

you are on it chirping is good so watch and wait . it would have been best to stop turning when the first chick hatched . your doing fine with this hatch . hope it can zip and hatch without help .

I definitely would help him if he's been like that for hours. He either looks stuck due to membranes or positioned wrong as he did not zip around. There is always the possibility of a deformation making hatch near impossible, but you don't know that until you get him out.

That's great! Sounds like you are having a better hatch this time.

I took the top shell off and removed as much membrane as I could, he still cant get out, any advice?

If the veins are "absorbed" then go ahead and zip him out. It appeared as though he was attempting to zip, so he should be ready.

I did, I peeled some more shell back and the whole membrane is dry. I am trying to hatch him
