HELP! Hen crushed one side of egg. Day 19. Blood everywhere.

And here is Nelly guiding a chick back under her

One egg has pipped on the wrong end and is cheeping really loudly! One has a weird crack at the skinny end, (that wasn't their at lockdown) and the chicks pulled off the really loose piece of shell exposing the membrane. It looks a bit like this only larger (this is not my picture)

is cheeping really loudly!

It's incredible how loud those little buggers are!

Is that condensation on the incubator or the actual egg? Either way, I'd get the humidity down, and if it's on the eggs wipe those off with a dry paper towel.

ETA: nevermind, that's not your picture.

If you have a pip at the wrong end, and in any case, I'd recommend reading the Guide to Assisted Hatching if you haven't already, just in case.

The one with the ''weird pip'' hatched last night and is a little ginger baby! She is under her mother now. We have one egg to hatch as I candled the two unpipped ones last night and they looked like they quit around day 15. The little pipped egg has been chirping but hasn't made any more progress (which is to be expected from a malpositioned chick right?). Anyway, Mama is very happy with her 5 little chicks! I will update you guys when this chick hatches and then I will take a big family picture of the mother and her 6 chicks.

YEAH!!! We hatched 9 chicks once. I hope that your chicks and hen are all okay.
