Well the one that was peeping when I went to bed pipped while I was sleeping. I got up really early this morning to check on it and there was no movement or noise from it any more. I think it may have died trying to get outI know it wasn't optimal conditions for hatching, but it still feels like I should have stayed up with it or something. I've left it in the "nest" all morning to see if it was just resting. Should I try to "help" it, in case it's just stuck? There's no movement at all from it - so I think the chick didn't make it. I know logically that the eggs were unlikely to make it, but I must confess that I got my hopes up when it was peeping last night![]()

I'm sorry... at this point if it isn't moving and you believe it is dead I would carefully open the pipped area a bit further to check, just make sure you open it towards the air cell area, to tear the membrane in the area of the chick would risk bleeding.
