Hello all,
I have an egg that is having trouble hatching. The chick opens and closes their mouth which I heard means they a still absorbing their yolk. I have the egg in a box with a heat lamp and jar of warm water and its about 95f. I know its supposed to be 99-100f, but does it matter with it this close to hatching?
I pealed away some membrane so it can breath and now theres some blood. The chick will also occasionally chirp and try to push against the eggs which I thought means their ready to get out.
What should I do now? I stopped peeling the membrane because there was blood and so now its just sitting there opening and closing it mouth a little. I am concerned about peeling the shell away to see if it has absorbed the yolk because if it hasn't I don't think it should be out of the shell. Am I wrong?
I will post pictures soon and can answer questions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
