Lockdown Humidity Question

[KikiLeigh02]

Is this good enough? It was positioned correctly when it started but the morning there was a foot popping out. Thank you so much for your help, you all are awesome. I'm still new and these darn bantams are really throwing me for a loop.

Did you see the beak? Is the chick still active?
That looks like room for it to pop on out when it’s ready. I’ve had my share give up in mid-zip and die, or spin without hitting shell and end up suffocating, so once they start an active zip, one hour total is my maximum wait time. By the point, they are ready to be out, so there is usually no harm in pulling the cap off.

The beak is right under the little wing, it is out of the shell. The are both peeping like crazy right now. I don't think I got the humidity high enough, it's right at 60%. This bantam egg has pipped externally now. Did I mess it up when I opened to help the other?

Awesome.
And no, it won’t hurt the others unless you left the lid off the whole time you were working on the one.
Did the humidity jump back up quickly?

 

[KikiLeigh02]

Yes, it jumped back up. It's still right at 60%.

Almost there. Thanks so much for your help! Other than hatching early the other one looks perfect as far as I can tell.
