One of My chicks did a pip 24hrs ago and started zipping and stopped I’m not sure if it is in the correct position I’ve lost one like this and I refuse to let this happen again! Please help ! It’s fully Alive its beak is centered not on either side there is blood. Its head is facing away from air cell not able to zip around in a circle with its beak ….it IS making eating movements with its mouth I can see it. When and what do I do if anything ….

Does the chick have any obvious veins showing? Maybe take it out of the incubator just to take a quick picture?

If there are no red blood veins that means they’ve dried up and she’s ready to hatch. If there are still obvious red veins leave her be for 4-5 hours or so.

She is making a ton of mouth movements like she’s eating since I have been able to see her
