hey there, I have one other egg who pipped yesterday morning and he made another pip that was further from the first today. He’s Been shaking the egg and I’m guessing he’s trying to get out. It’s been an hour since he made the second pip,should I help?

Did I reply to your other thread ?

Update: so this duckling pipped the shell and moved to a position where his beak is in the air cell( which I have already opened up) he is still moving around but I can see active veins and I think the yolk, i think he’s trying to hatch but I think it’s too early. What should i do ?

The first picture is from yesterday and the second one is from right now. Just wanted to show how much it’s moved

Why is so much shell gone? and it doesn't look like the membrane has been pipped?

So yesterday I got freaked out because one of the other egg had just quit and died so I opened this one up further from the safety hole I had alredy put in it 2 days ago. In the first picture you can see that it’s beak wasn’t in the right spot but now it’s pushed to where it is in the air cell spot. It’s definitely broken the membrane the beach is sticking out of the shell. So sorry this probably sounds so confusing.

I see now, Since it has air I wouldn't mess with it, It's so much better if they hatch without us helping.

Yes, leave it alone and keep it in the incubator. Then if it does hatch on its own and there is still an unabsorbed yolk put it in a small Tupperware type bowl on a DRY paper towel and leave it in the incubator until the yolk is gone.

Ok thanks, I’m worried that it’s trying to break out but I dont think it’s ready cuz I believe I see a small yolk still attached.
