Need help please! Malpositioned chick pipped side of shell, not in air sac, what should I do? It’s still trying to zip but not making much progress.

Hatched eggs can be a gamble at best but give it a day to do it on it's own

I have recently had 2 upside down pips in two different incubations. They hatched fine. I would just leave it be.

He/she finally hatched, but it looks like there were membranes, maybe a little yolk(?)and egg shell from his/her bottom area. That fell off after a few minutes. One of his/her toes is flesh colored... Is this a normal variant? Anything I need to be concerned about? Poor thing had a tough hatch and the other four are so rough around him/her...

Chick looks good . Wouldn't worry about it. I just had 3 pip the wrong end and a Friend said it's about 50/50 when they do that. My 3 did hatch. Just took a bit longer.

Let it nice dry in the bator glad it could do it on it's own

Thank you! It looks like we had 7 out of 9 hatch that made it to lockdown. The last one to hatch is still a little wet so I’ll give them a little more time to dry out before placing them in the brooder.

The last two are olive eggs and hard to candle other than knowing they both had air sacs. If they have not pipped, can I take the hatched chicks out when dry and give the two olive eggs a little more time in the incubator just to be sure they don’t pip?
