He was at day 20, pipped very early on day 19.. Finally rolled out about 2 hours ago after several hours of sitting in a mostly unzipped egg. He seems fine so far
I will hand to try that! He finally came out and is a feisty little bugger already beating on the others... But the other started hatching when he came out and died before he could even get a proper hole pipped through. I'm not sure if my humidity is causing the issues with this last batch or what, as that is the 2nd to die out of 4 and 3rd to have problems getting out. The membrane to all 3 was very hard and almost rubbery
Literally just happened to me too. I had such a lively little chicken die overnight and I didn’t have a clue. I finally built up the guts to crack it open to see if I could maybe save the rest from the same fate Poor little thing was unable to break through the membrane (don’t know why as all my levels were correct)
I had the break the membrane on the one before it and it came down to every few hours coming back and chipping some away until his head was out and then left him do the rest... Now he is just the meanest little thing! Lol but the other the egg was very fluid filled, and I did chip away to see if maybe he just wasn't moving and his brother was healthy as a horse, went to take a shower come out and he had died while I was gone. we have 4 more who are developing nicely so far so I guess we will see what happens
