OMG! Help!!

How did your hatch go? Did your cracked egg hatch OK?

I am almost to the end of day 21 and I do not have any pipping as of yet. I don't think my broken egg baby made it. How much longer should I wait before I intervene? I was going to wait a few more hours and then try opening up the air sac end and seeing what is happening. I know lots of folks say to leave them alone, but I don't want dead in the shell chickies.

The fact that none of them have pipped suggests they may need more time. Has your humidity been good?

Yes, it has been at about 60 percent. How much more time? Do I candle them or just wait? I have done that before and had dead in the shell chicks.

One of them has just pipped, but at the wrong end. Ugh...

Got a 2nd egg that has pipped. This one is at the correct end! Yay!!!

Pips are good! Even wrong end, they usually hatch fine without help, the hardest part is getting that pip in.

Try playing peeping chick noises to them on a loop. That's what made my Chance hatch

I am very relieved.

I was peeping to mine but it wasn't until I played actual noises she did anything.
