Need some help please.

One of the pip holes has some blood on it, should this be a concern?
The chick is still peepin and wiggling, but I just want to be sure.
Is pip hole bleeding serious?

How bad is it bleeding?

 

[Tokajein]

It doesn't look bad from the outside really, just a little red, but from the inside it may look different.
Also how do you kno if you chick is getting shrink wrapped?
I suspect the bleeding egg may be getting shrink wrapped.
But i need to know specifically what I should be looking for on that.

If there is blood it is not ready to hatch yet. Just leave it alone and see how it does.

Sounds like it may be ok, but just be ready in case it isnt.

You wont know they are shrink wrapped until they don't hatch or cant get out.

The best way to prevent this is to not open the incubator, try to get humidity up as best as you can and keep it up.

The only reason for shrink wrapping as far as I know is if someone has open the incubator and let a force of air go into the incubator.

Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

for now sit on your hands and do not open the bator at all.

Okay thank you, it is still peepin and moving and such, so I think I will be okay.
It is actually peeping more than my already hatched chick. Funny how that works isn't it?

Mine always get loud when they are hatching, some times before they even pip a whole I can hear them inside the egg it was strange at first but now I count that as a good sign

Yup, when i was filling the incubator tray with my water today, my hand accidentally bumped into a couple of eggs, and they rolled a little bit. I got some angry chirps from those unpipped eggs.

right now I am using a still air, hovabator. model 1602N
17 out of 25 of my eggs made it to day 18, now I am not sure about what still survived after that. Since all my babies are a tad late. Day 21 was yesterday.
