DAY 20: (4:00pm) 3 chicks hatched.
DAY 21: (9:00pm) 4 chicks hatched.
DAY 22: (10:00pm) There is 2 "leftover eggs" from the batch of chicks. Both of them are internally pipped... but not externally. So, I just candled the eggs... one of them is still moving around inside the air sac. The other one has NO movement. I went ahead and made a safety hole in both of the eggs. Are they supposed to be breathing into the safety hole? Or do they have to make their own pip naturally. Why haven't they pipped? Usually the "leftover eggs" are not alive but there is a few faint chirps and movement from one of them. What should I do? How long should it take (for them to hatch/pip)? Why didn't they hatch with the other7 chicks who were RIGHT on time?
DAY 23: not yet happened.
