Hands on hatching and help

[newchickmama91]

It's been like that for over 2 hours now and broke through anymore..?
Should i intervene

Give it more time should be ok if it can breath. I had this in the week you have to be very careful because the veins in that area. If it's broken through the membrane it'll be fine

You can make sure the membrane is punctured and pull it back to make sure the beak is clear, but don't try assisting at this point.

I love polish chicks!! They are ugly cute lol. This one was in the weird egg but is completely fine

21 days today and still no movement.. ...

I don't know what type of bator you have. But, personally I wouldn't hesitate to candle today. To see an internal pip and movement would be a relief.

However, one question, this is your first hatch , right? Did you count setting as day 0?

Edited: I didn't get the pipped message when I wrote this. Since you have pipping, don't risk humidity change by candeling others.

If your hearing chirping that means you have a internal pip. You can wait for 24 hours if none have made a external pip then make a pin sized safety hole in the shell. That's how I tell I've had a couple shells that I found really hard to get into even with sharp tools. Chirping is a good sign though so hopeful they won't need assisting

Please be careful, some just take time. One may hatch on day 19 and another day 22 without problems. It does happen.

How will I know if the shell is to hard?

The first one has pipped

There is no reason to think the shell is too hard. Because it's difficult for us to pierce isn't the same thing. Sounds like this one is doing well.

Yes this is my first time nd yes I did. It's still not broke through anymore. Hopefully I'll have good news in the morning.
