HELP please! Internal pip 25 hours ago, no external pip

[saraem18]

I put wet paper towels in there, under and beside the egg. I am unsure the humidity because the thermometer with humidity gauge stopped working a few days ago and I just have a small digital thermometer in there now. Should I go out and get a new humidity gauge? Also, any idea what part of the bird these parts are?

Take the wet paper towel out from under the egg - a wet paper towel directly in contact with the egg can chill the baby inside.

I would definitely get a new hygrometer so you can see what the humidity is.

Relax.. its ok...

What is this??

Don't let paper towel touch egg. (it gets cold) Any who, good new is most eggs that pip will hatch, no help needed. A pip does not mean it is ready. it pips while it still has fluid in egg. The pip does help trigger the fluid digestion process, and gives the chick air to finish the hatch with in 24 hrs of the pip, so there is that...

Its hard for me to tell.. Pyxis may know. Did you take the towels out?

Thank you for telling me! I took all paper towels from under the egg. I just cant stop worrying. It has now been about 28 hours since internal pip. Can I safely leave it alone now?

I didnt take them out of the incubator but I took them away from the shell. Should I take it all the way out?

Geese can take 3 days to go from internal pip to hatch.. go get a new hygrometer if you can to keep track of the humidity.

I would take them out as Pyxis said.

I really REALLY hate intervening like this. Is he ok for now? Going out for hygrometer now if it is safe to leave the egg. I know it takes days to hatch so I wasnt concerned until I read about suffocation. I have a problem with scaring myself via google.

Thank you everyone SO much. I'm going to keep updating this and if anyone has any tips please let me know.
