@ KLIL Haha yup me marking growth and positioning and making sure they were being turned lol. First baby hatched at one am! Second one I was asleep for...

 

[tacothechicken]

Oh also I have a concern because the secound standerd egg had pipped and I made the mistake of not immediately swapping it upon putting the 2 chicks tighter and I believe someone tore a hole in the protective membrane around the chick and now there's blood.... if theyve pipped can I assume theyre fully formed? Or is there chance he is still absorbing and may bleed out? He pipped yesterday late afternoon and it now 7 am so its been at least 10 hrs

The blood just happened though and its quite bright red

After they pip, some take 24-48 hours to completely absorb the egg sack and veins.

@rjohns39 oh nooo ok up immediately put the bleeder in our monitor whith th a other pips to keep it out of harms way and the baby is squawking like a pro so I'll cross my fingers it stays strong enough to hatch if the blood loss causes hatch issues if he makes it that far could I possibly assist him? He seems like a fighter but I cant tell if the bleedings stopped yet :"I

I would wait and leave the egg in the bator until you see the membranes start drying and then with clean hands have a container of water nearby so that you can use a finger to wet the membranes.
