The first one to pip last night died. It was cheeping when I went to class at 9 and I didn't hear it at 1 when I got home. It pipped face down. I don't think it could turn in the egg because it was a small egg. Any other thoughts? Two more pipped and I'm worried for them. I put in a warm wet cloth when I took the egg out. Humidity seems fine. Here's a pic after I peeled eggshell from its face. It only cracked the shell a half inch.

Now that you have helped it, it will need help the rest of the way. Looks like most of the blood is absorbed. Shouldn't be long you can have most peeled off and have it out.
Hopefully that's all the last three are doing.
It died in the shell. I opened it to see if I could tell what went wrong.

Cute, but.... Shouldn't it be on Twitter???
I could be wrong but I am 90% sure thats a blood ring. I don't have any pics of day 5 incubation but i think it should be further along, keep it for now, at least until you get some more educated people to answer!
