Help!

HELP! QUESTION!!! We had planned that our eggs were due to hatch on Wednesday. We weren't going to turn them anymore after last night! When we went to turn them 2 have broken through but the hole is facing the bottom of the incubator. In the past they have always pipped upward! Should I leave them be? Or should I turn them even though they are zipping so they the initial hole is facing upward???

If they are zipping without a problem, I would leave them be, but woud get that humidity up. If they are only pipped I would up the humidity and turn them over, (not because it's neccessary, but because I'm a meddler and can't stand not knowing what is going on.)

Ok thanks! Without being able to see them I can't tell what's going on. The membranes looks very dry to me compared to the last time we incubated

Yes it does. I would pull it out and moisten the membrane with a wet q-tip or a little bacitracin.

Thanks. I moistened them so we will see how they progress. 6 of the 12 are in progress.
