mid hatch death? 3 hatched, 4 stopped progressing. What’s going on?

You did candle correct, so you know it is viable. If so, id keep it in the incubator. Can't hurt. Def wait a few more days. It may just be slow.

Yes. I candled it before lockdown. Looked really healthy to me. The first chick was moving it around a bit and the other two did the same. I took them out because I was worried that they would get thirsty or just too cramped in my tiny incubator. But since I took it out it hasn't moved or pipped.

I heard of babies hatching six days late. Obviously that's the exception to the rule but definitely don't quit on it yet!
