Incubation disaster, PLEASE HELP!!

[
Good job. On the egg with no break in the membrane, is it active? If you candle it, can you see a beak in the air cell?

It’s hard to see, but I think it has internally pipped. And yes, it is still very active. Whenever I handle the egg I can hear it and feel it moving.

Sounds promising. If I were in your position, I would most likely chip away the shell on the top so that I could see the beak, and then wait a while before taking any further action.

Thank you!! Do you have any suggestions about the others?

I'd leave them as-is for a while longer. Wait until the veins have receded fully and then wait longer still, to ensure the yolk has been absorbed; I generally note a flourishment of activity that serves as a sign for me to start peeling back the membrane to expose the head.

Thank you so much!! The half hatched one is now fully hatched, but it is still connected to the shell by a little string, possibly the umbilical cord or just a feather, but it seems like it’s doing well, active and peeping. And there has been no changes with the other eggs.

Congrats! If that doesn't drop off quite quickly, trim it with scissors to keep it from pulling and causing damage.

Thank you for all the help!! Right now I have 7 out of 10 babies doing well and in the brooder. Two of the other eggs I have assisted and they and doing well and drying off in the incubator. And one more still in the egg but it is able to breath and still alert and peeping. When this first happened I thought I would end up with only two or three of my chicks and now it’s looking like I will have all 10 of my chicks. Thank you so much!! Everyone!!

Good job!! I'm so glad this seems to be ending well.
