They've only been in the brooder a few hours and it's already a mess. Lol They are a major pain for a few months

You can use beetroot to dye it a red purple lol and it won't hurt them

Today is day 20 from what my app says. Yet I have not heard one peep thought on day 19 they break into the air cell?

Just give them time.sometimes they are late. If the temp was a little off it can delay hatching by a couple days.

Don't open an egg unless you plan on sacrificing that chick. They don't fully absorbe the yolk till the last minute.. If I have one pip that doesn't hatch on 10 to 12 hrs I will help then. Some make it some don't
