Help! High Humidity throughout incubation

[Elizabeth777]

I'm not hearing anything from it how long do they usually go in between pips! I can see it's little beak through the hole (or maybe it's the egg tooth)and it is moving every once in awhile.

I find a list of pip times very useful. I label my eggs so that I can chronicle them as they pip and hatch, and it helps me determine when to assist, if necessary.

The membrane looks dry. It's not white anymore but a cream colour Does that mean it is too dry already?

As long as you see movement, I don't think its time to help yet. Its only been about 12 hours, right?
Cream color could mean its starting to get dry, but sitting up like it is, that doesn't surprise me. If it continues to turn more toward brown color, that will be when you may need to assist.

I can tell you for sure... you do not want that baby out of the shell until the yolk is fully absorbed. Hang in there!

OK thank you I will keep watching!

The second egg that pipped is zipping! But I'm a little bit worried about the first one as I can't see the beak any more

Do I help him out!? Do I lay the egg on it's side? Ahhh so excited!!!

 

[Elizabeth777]

He was struggling so I just gently laid him on his side. But it looks like he is stuck to some of the shell shell

He's free!!!!!

Oh, I just love this part Well done, well done!!! Congratulations, now you just have to come up with a fabulous name for her (hopefully!!). OK so how about chick no. 1? Anything new?

That chick does not look super wet which is a good sign, the others should be along shortly. It looks like you have another 3 now, correct?
