It looks like they just stopped breathing.

Your duckies??? What happened?!

Not sure I have two that all of a sudden look like they aren't breathing anymore. They were all doing so well.

I have no real input @LilyD but I’m hoping for the best for you, and appreciative to be on this little hatch journey, for what it’s worth. I can’t imagine how long theyve been pipped and haven’t moved. In for example baby x, can you see if he has yolk left? You run with higher humidity where you are right? Do you think he could be in sticky fluid where you can’t see? I’m 100% inexperienced in assists aside from chipping away a shell on well formed chicks that had a piece or two stuck and couldn’t turn.

I’ve like and unlike several times... So sorry if your babies did indeed die!

I'm so so sorry! I wasn't watching the feed for a while I didn't know there was another issue! They were all wiggling about when I looked last.

Not sure. Usually we do very low humidity and I hatch dry this year I have run close to 50% or higher in humidity all incubation. No help for it. My sponges are dry in the bottom but it has rained so much the air humidity is super high normally.

Both the X's have very little veining left so thinking they are getting close to wanting out of there.

They seemed to be breathing and doing well. I stepped away to get a bit of dinner and came back and they weren't moving.

I'm truly sorry, I hope the rest hatch successfully for you.

I have 4 still moving around lost two of the O's and Big Nose not sure if it is through being sticky chick they don't look yellow and goopy but the membrane was tight on them too The other 4 seem to be doing okay. I put more coconut oil on their membranes just in case.
