Help guys! Just posted this to the incubation thread....not sure what to do....

Hi, first time hatcher here. I have 6 seramas out of 6 that hatched, and I have 2 BC eggs in there as well. It's Day 21.

I had to take one of the seramas out because I have another one in there whose umbilical cord was a little bloody and still attached, and I didn't want the older serama pecking at it. There was a small pip on one of the BC eggshells.

When I went to put the cover back I apparently didn't have it on there all the way and the humidity dropped to 25% for maybe an hour and fifteen minutes. When I realized to my horror what I had done, there was a bigger pipped area with membrane kind of drying and no hole. I immediately added water to the bator and moistened the dried membrane with a Qtip and water.

Now I can see the egg tooth poking against the membrane but it is not poking through. What should I do? Leave it and see what happens? Keep moistening the membrane? Assisted hatching if/when? I don't want this little chick to die because f y stupidity.

Thanks much in advance, any speedy replies will be well appreciated!

Ok so I have never ever hatched anything but I have read on other threads that you should not moisten the membrane with water. Do you have coconut oil? I think vaseline works too

I found this interesting. I hatched once and not at my house. (Not sure that counts)

@Smuvers Farm you we’re looking for buckeyes? Someone just said they have some in the Ohio thread. Not sure if they breed but they said they have them. It’s a lead...
