Help! Bubbles from egg?

[Fields Mountain Farm]

You can use a q-tip if necessary, and dry up a little around the beak. But I'd give it more time to zip. 12 hours and later than the rest of your hatch, probably needs a few more hours. Good luck!

I'd have tagged you too but I hadn't see ya around this morning!

The beak looks like it has plenty of room to breathe now. Bubbles stopped. I added more water since I realized that apparently the bator dried out since she is taking so long. Humidity should rise and hopefully she will hatch while I'm at work.

Thanks so much for your feedback. It's greatly appreciated.

Excellent. You got this!

Is it just me, or does it look like in the picture that she might not have pipped into the air cell?

I can't tell!

Not making any progress. Bubbles come and go. Ahhhh! How long can they be in zip mode?

What do I do in case that happened? None of the other chicks had this much difficulty hatching. I don't want to lose her. She's losing steam and getting weaker.

24 hours pipped before zip is not uncommon, and if she did miss the air cell, then it could be an additional 24 hours (they normally breathe the air-cell air for around 24 hours before pipping the shell).

But here's a guide for you, in case you need to assist. Just don't rush it.
