Help! Don’t know if I should assist Cygnet ready to hatch

[superduckrescue]

i have a swan egg that was rescued from predators. My EE hen has been sitting on it to see if we could hatch it. Well 2 days ago, I heard peeping from the egg. I also heard peeping yesterday. So in all reality, I expected to see a pip this morning but there is nothing and now I can’t hear any peeping. I would so hate to loose this baby after all this time and so close to hatch. Should I start a pip for it as it is obviously going to run out of air if it hasn’t already because of no pip. Or do I wait another day? This is really stressing me out.

YES just stop if blood vesesles and do it slowly while peeping to him. All of my helped hatches have all lived it is better then leveing him put a small hole in his egg too for him to have air.It is not true that all chicks will die if you help its just if you are like taring in to the egg that is a prob.

I fear I may be too late. I can’t hear peeping and doesn’t seem to be movement. I should have done this yesterday. I am completely bummed!

Did you make the pip hole yet?

 

[pntdhorses]

Nope, it definitely didn’t make it. This sucks beyond sucking!

Are you sure? Did you take it completely out?

Are you sure? Did you take it completely out?

Yep, he’s fully out.

 

[pntdhorses]

I can’t understand why it didn’t try to pip at all!

 

[The Phantom]

Yep, he’s fully out.

I’m sorry.

I can’t understand why it didn’t try to pip at all!

It’s dead for sure right? Not moving?

I can’t understand why it didn’t try to pip at all!

Maybe it didnt have the strength to break the shell.

I'm sorry

I was hoping things would go well, I've never followed along about Swans so was very interested to see how it went
