New to incubating eggs

[ekalbach]

So are first eggs are finally hatching. Can someone tell me if this one is ok?

Looks like it pipped at the wrong end, in my experience upside-downers can usually hatch all right on their own as long as they don't rupture a big vein when they pip.

It is a little red around the site where it pipped. Think it is ok?

 

[Lozuufy]

Looks ok to me.

 

[ekalbach]

Thank you for your help.

It is still full of yolk, so if it has a clear air way leave it be... if there is blood there is yolk to digest. which is good because yolk in shell means chick is not hungry.

I've had 3 eggs hatch out of 26. We are on day 23. The one that pipped at the wrong end didn't make it. I will wait until tomorrow and see what happens.

day 22? may be worth a peek at one staring at the air cell stopping if there is blood.

Well 3 of my eggs hatched and we have 3 cute little chicks, 1 cream legbar, 1 light brahama, and 1 cuckoo maran. I eggtopsied the others. Some weren't fertile, some were early quitters and some were late quitters. I am going to try again.

Good luck with your next hatch!
