Hands on hatching and help

[jenniferlamar70]

thank you! I just hope opening it quickly didn't hurt it at all the temp came right back up and humidity never dropped so I'm hoping!! Driving myself crazy over here!!

If you have to open it again I always add a wet paper towel to keep my humidity up. It was a tip I found on Google and it works amazingly.

I'm still pretty new here so this may already have been discussed but, I need advice!
It's been 13 hours since the first chick in the incubator pipped on the wrong end of the egg! But that's not the problem.Within the hour, she had started to "unzip." However, she's going to wrong way around the egg! (Excuse the blurry photos, but here's what I mean):

I forced myself not to intervene for the first 2 hours until the inner membrane stuck to one of her nostrils. After carefully, peeling and snipping the troublesome piece off, back into the incubator she went. But now, 13 hours after pip and the beginning of unzipping, she's repositioned herself to where her beak is in the original pip. I'm starting to worry since she's been peeping for the past 3 hours NONSTOP. I don't know if she's stuck or not. What should I do?!

Can u shine a flashlight near her beak to show her the way out? Worked for a bunch of ours.
And cheer her on,know it sounds silly but works every time

Flash light shinning on first pip.I'm a hoper if you want a science buff you might have to wait a few hours till they wake up.

Know it's scary but try the flash light&peeping

@alligrace

Since she's malpositioned she may be unable to zip correctly and get herself out. They only start zipping when they're ready to come out, so if you want to start zipping around for her, that's fine. Stop if you see blood, but I have a feeling you'll find she's completely ready to come out.

Hi again Y'all!

I set 17 EE eggs yesterday, 11 mildly saddled, 2 with medium saddles, and four perfect.

Here's hoping I get a better hatch this time!

I checked my eggs at day 3 and somehow the turner gorgeous unplugged Today, day 7 I have development, but it looks like on one side only. Is there anything I can do?

I would pull it out and start an assist by zipping around the egg. stopping if there is any bleeding/ heavy veining. Normally I wouldn't touch it until at least 18 hours, but if it is actually zipping itself, I would go ahead.

Good luck.

Make sure that they are being turned from here on out. An egg that has been on one side for any length of time (a matter of hours) will appear to look like it's only developing on one side. What ever side was facing up will show the development. When you turn the egg to the other side and check again in a few hours, the growth will be on the side facing up again. Make sure your turner is turning and continue on, hopefully they will be alright. candle in a couple days after they've been turning again and you can reasses them.

Okay. I made the hole slightly wider to check that the veins had dried up but there was a little bleeding. So I stopped. I will try again in a little while. Thank you for the advice!!
