Hands on hatching and help

[Ravynscroft]

Hey guys I'm torn up. One of the 2 that was chirping and trying to pip died. I checked on it and it was making no noise and no movement. I tapped and it was completely still. I opened the egg and it's perfectly formed and ready to hatch. Yoke was absorbed and the blood vessels had receded. I'm kicking myself. I feel like I should have made a pip for it earlier when it was lively. The second one is still alive and chirping. I don't know what to do. Every chick in this batch has had problems from the beginning. Should I help the other one? What if it dies before it can hatch. We are going into day 23 and only one has successfully hatched. Please some help here would be so appreciated. I don't want to lose this other baby!!

Sorry, I had several emergencies happen at once... :/

Shipped are a crap shoot, really... I completely understand them being important, but usually if they are struggling that much and can't externally pip themselves, assisting usually ends badly as well... don't beat yourself up, please...

If it were me, I would make that pip. You don't really have anything to lose, do you?

Thanks everyone I am opening them now. I won't touch the membrane yet. I'm going to try to find the beaks I'll update. Found one already. It was on the wrong end of the egg.

Ok all were shrink wrapped. I made a view hole and an air hole for the beak. I put them back in the incubator. Please say a prayer for that my little ones will pull through. Thanks for all the help. I couldn't do this without you guys. I'm terrified.

Did you moisten the membrane at all? I was going to give coconut oil a try my next go 'round.
