Help! Will my quail egg survive?

[sumi]

How's it going?

I opened a hole- they're fine so far, yawning and fidgeting inside the egg. I also put plent of humidity to help. Seems like the membrane was dry...but I'm letting nature take its course from now

 

[sumi]

Hope they hatch out o.k.

 

[Pontata]

...one died. I knew I should have help hatch this one out sooner- the membrane doesn't have blood vessels connected and it just died...

 

[sumi]

I'm sorry

How are the others doing?

 

[Pontata]

Yeah if I did it FASTER instead waiting for it to move by itself it could have lived ):

The rest are ok, one is quite weak

 

[Pontata]

To add it was weird how it died though. It was a healthy moving chick inside the egg, breathing properly. Then it moved it's head up as if to pip then died right there. Any idea of the causes?

 

[sumi]

I'm sorry, but I don't know. One of the frustrating things about chicks is that they sometimes die for no apparent reason.

 

[Pontata]

helping 15 mins, let chick rest for 2 hours, alternating. The chick is almost out! If both is okay I may have to help others- also shrink wrapped

If you have any weak hicks try feeding them boiled egg yolk this will boost up there vitamin and energy levels, The rest can just be fed on chick crumb.
