INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Help
This is my first hatch.one of the chicks has this brown to orange looking thing hanging off of its butt. What do i do there is still 4 unhatched eggs in the incubator and one healthy looking chick in there. HELP PLEASE

I have a question -

I was checking the last 4 eggs (as I read) and when I picked one up it was pipped face down, kinda in the middle of the egg (no where near the marked air cell) I had no idea this egg was pipped because it pipped on the plastic mesh "ground". I quickly put it back down, pip up though. I also added a wet cloth to increase the humidity, was at 65% not is at 72%. Is there anything else I should do. The pipped part does look like it is drying out, a little brown near one spot. And I do hear chirping from inside the egg.

At this moment I am just waiting and giving it time. Thank you for any advice anyone.

sounds like you got it under control

I am glad I checked something first, before putting eggs in the incubator tonight. Looks like I won't be hatching again.

It's not unusual for chicks to pip in the middle of the shell or face down. The brown you are seeing is most likely the membrane drying out. If it gets too dry, it may be too tough for the chick to tear. If it hasn't made any progress by now, you may have to assist it a little by tearing the membrane slightly one each side of the pip hole... ONLY if you don't see any veins. Remove a small piece of shell on each side of the pip first, without tearing the membrane. Use a damp Q-tip to moisten the membrane and make it clear enough to check for veins. If no veins are present, a small tear (1/4") to each side should suffice. The chick should be able to handle the rest.

Are you going to share what that "something" is with the rest of the class???

My new refrigerbator appears to be working great. Have you seen it???

I am a mean person. I can't barely behave here. And it's no fun to incubate without getting to share my progress.

The last picture I saw of it, had the reflection of your muscles.
