I’m so sorry that one was dead. From looking at the first pic, I suspected as much, but was trying to be hopeful. I also suspect it died a few days ago, so I don’t think you caused it.An update! The other egg that was put in three days later has externally pipped! But their sibling egg also died, it’s so weird how this is all playing out. Now the issue is does that mean the first egg that was there earlier is falling behind?
Congrats on an external pip though!
Calls can definitely be a challenge. The biggest challenge is finding that fine line of when to intervene and when to wait.
Question though, do you own the parents? Are they show quality or pet quality birds?
