Hello. So, all chicks hatched in 20 and 21 day..
Today was day 22, and I start to check all unhatched eggs. With light thru egg in dark, to see if something is moving in eggs, try to hear smth thru, then I cut with knife all shell, but not the white. Not hearing anything, then I open it..
I guess if there is no movement of embryo, then he is dead, yes?

But, then main and heartbreaking think today, in the morning there was one chick which was cracked his beak thru, and in evening he still was the same, so I openen a little bit, thinkin its ready....
No, it wasnt...

This should be Kulang-asil, I bought 26 eggs for incubation, and 2 was of this breed, one was ''yolked'',
And for luck in first, this was.. I was hoping to get this bread.. But all screwed..
Thats is: Live your life, learn all life..
I had two hens which was incubating eggs in same time, so I put this under the one which had less chicks, and she by accident walk on him, the yolk spread thru this opened place etc etc...
I guess, from what you all see, this one wont survive anyway?

P.S, I feel dam.n bad..... very bad..

If the chick is not moving inside the egg, then no it is not alive. That is always tough when you come this far.

As for this little chick, I would not give up hope. I had one similar to this with my last hatch. When he pushed out he just was not completely ready. I put a damp wash cloth inside of a coffee mug and then put the chick and the shell he was still semi attached to back in the incubator. It took him nearly an entire day, but the hole closed up, umbilical cord dried out and he was able to pull free of the shell. He did just fine and within a day I could no longer pick him out of any of the other chicks. Just make sure this little guy is separated so no one will step on him and keep him warm until he is ready. Good luck.
