Need advice please.
This incubator hatch has not been the greatest so far. 12 hatched fine on day 21-22 out of 32 eggs. Day 23 starts at 7 PM today. I have had 2 die in shell after pipping. It appears on had ruptured membrane due to it's rough treatment from the other chicks. The other appears to have been too large to turn.
The egg I am concerned with at the moment I noticed was chirping and peeping last night at about 8 pm. This morning there is a small pip and the chick is still chirping and the egg is seriously wiggling but it has not zipped. I do not know when it pipped in the night or this morning!
I don't know if this chick is in distress or just doing it's thing. This egg is really wiggling a lot.
How long should I wait. I don't want another to die in shell. I candled last night and there are chicks in all remaining eggs, but only movement in 2.
