Hatching incubated eggs in cartons?

[TinkyPinky]

Comparing your egg to this egg in the pic is it higher or lower that this one? This egg is fat end up in a carton ~

Umm.My chick pipped in the middle. He pipped a hole yesterday afternoon. The hole hasn't gotten bigger yet.

If it's in the middle I would personally wait the full 24 hours before making the pip hole a little bigger and having a look to see what is happening in there. Pipping in the middle and more towards the bottom is slightly out of position so it may need a little more time.

The chicken is moving around very violently and feels to be jumping. I can see a tiny bit of red liquid on the edge of the shell, It's that bad? Is it normal for them to have a tiny bit of blood on the shell?

Is it bright red blood? They should have absorbed it all prior to hatch but sometimes when they pip they can catch a vein.

On that description I would say it's not ready yet. It's not yolk is it?

no, I didn't see any yolk. But why would the chick Pip if its not ready??

They have to pip to be able to continue the hatching process. They need oxygen and that's why they make the pip hole.
I've got to go now, I will be back in a bit. Have a really good read of the assisted hatching link I left you so you are are prepared.
Also check out "Hatchjng eggs 101" in the learning centre. It's in the incubating and hatching section.
