I incubated 11 quail eggs and so far eight hatched. Out of the three remaining eggs only one pipped. That egg first pipped at the same time as chick number eight. After number eight hatched, the egg seemed to be making good progress, except it would crack the shell, just not the membrane. After about an hour it managed to make a very very small hole. Its been 14 hours since that, and no progress. I havent seen the chick move inside or anything. I also dont clearly see its beak, just fluffiness. I have only openned the incubator once which was an hour ago to take out number 8
I do flash a flashlight sometimes at it to kinda see where its at,(its in a dark room) im not sure if that is affecting the process
Today is day 18 humidity is 66% temp 99.5-100
Heres a not so great picture of it.
(Writing sais membrane covering most of egg)
Oh yeah and I cant hear anything, but thats normal, i dont know whats wrong with my incubator but even when theres four noisy chicks in there I still dont hear anything at all.
Help, what should I do, should I asist it? It would be my first time assisting a chick so im quite terrified.
