OK..I think my chick is dying!!!!

[Eva_hatchings]

My first time was not too long ago (June). It is very stressful, I used to worry a lot about them, just let nature take its course and hope for the best!

alright..thank you !

alright..thank you !

If it makes you feel any better I had 65 eggs over the span of 3 months... I ended up with 1 quail. But he is the best thing ever! If it doesn't happen the first time try and try again!

so basically it had a perfect air cell till yesterday when i candled it

Yeah it can change in a day and it can be rly frustrating you are so close then it seems like the are going to die
The only tip i can give is don't tuch, it is only a day or two and interrupting the process will kill the chick.

Well its good to say it internally pipped this afternoon...but wasn't making sounds...but he was breathing...which was a great feeling to know its okay..it was a good air cell but today morning it turned saddle shaped...but like 4 hours later it pipped...so I later it on its side now...hope its okay...also when do thhey start chirping after pipping?its been like 4 hours since it has pipped but no sounds...

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Are you sure it's saddled and not just that the cell drew down since it was lock down?

 

[HeatherKellyB]

Yes, sounds like the draw down, in preparation for upcoming hatching process.

@Eva_hatchings have you read this? It has so much information that will be helpful. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have a concern or question, but that is one of the most informative articles on incubation and hatching, even for assisted hatching if that becomes necessary. I wish you the best!
