[kkowa]

sisters dropped egg at 20 days old today hole is large enough for me to fit my middle finger in please help what should I do!!!

if the chick is still alive, mist it with warm (near hatch temp) water very lightly. you may have to help it hatch. here is an article on the subject.

it has excellent information on dealing with this.

I wish you the best of luck

ok thank you and I will when should I start misting shes due to hatch tomorrow but should I give her more time ???

 

[loveourbirds]

I would mist right now, its ok to spray a little on other eggs too.. are you using an incubator or a hen?

 

[kkowa]

incubator the temp is at 100 and humidity 70

 

[loveourbirds]

your humidity is on the high side, it will help you along. can you see the chick?

 

[kkowa]

yes its moving a lot!

 

[kkowa]

the inner membrane is still attached also

 

[loveourbirds]

a lot of movement is good, have you torn the membrane, and are any other chicks starting to pip?
