he is not breathing

If you don't think he's breathing you have nothing to lose.

Slowly start chipping pieces of eggshell off the air cell end.

If he starts moving assist a hair more put him back in incubator see if he can finish.

If truly not breathing over resting the chick may have died

You also have to accept the possibility that he may be dead.

I'm so sorry. I've always heard that incubation is not for the faint of heart.

So sorry hear that even if you helped him earlier, he may have not made it anyway. Sometimes they just aren't meant to make it. I've done two assists and I've been lucky that both were ready and needed help and survived after. Don't beat yourself up over it, sometimes you have to take the good with the bad

I know this is kind off random bu tI have found this amazing app called "hatch-a-batch" it's so good! It gives you daily reminders of the growth stage and candling reminders. I highly recommend it.
