Hi
I had 6 buff orpington eggs which i bought from ebay of all the 6, two were definitely fertile and growing . During lockdown on day 22 i noticed a small pip on one of the eggs and later in the day i heard chirping, anyway to cut the story short eventually i had to intervene as the chick was stuck and the white membrane had become dry and hard. i managed to rescue her but by end of day 22 no movement or pipping on the other egg i candled and i saw no movement. i decided to get rid of it but before that i broke the egg and i saw the dry rubbery membrane to me it seemed it couldn't get out of it to pip the shell and had died. my question is could i have helped it by making small crack on the shell.
