OK, help them out. Since one has hatched they are ready to come out.

I have had a high success rate helping quail. They are tougher than chickens.

Start by breaking open the top of the shells, make sure their beaks are
exposed to air, and then let them sit for an hour.

Then, help them further but don't remove them from the shell completely.
Just gently pull out their heads and upper bodies. This way if there is any
yolk still attached it can absorb.

If they don't make it by themselves after that then just finish the job for
them. Leave them in the warm incubator until they start running around.

The first few hours will look bad. Don't worry.

Best of luck. They, and you, will do fine.

Ok so far i only help 2 chicks and i added water to the bator

one chick died that was stuck so i removed him but i helped the other 2 they are still in there shells with just there heads out and i close the bator to the temp and heat would come back up for a bit



the first chick that hatch is healthy as can be .. walking around and chirping away

Aww I bet it is so cute. I have more button eggs coming in the mail tomorrow (at least they should be here then). They are just to cute, good luck with the rest.

How many eggs are still in the bator?

If humidity dropped and they got stuck you may have to help
them all. That will take some time.

Once you get their heads out you can just lay them on their sides
until they gain some strength.

there's about i don't know 20 or more eggs maybe 30? lol

i will check to see if any more pip


and yes they are adorable

OK, this is completely your decision. If it was me I would pop open
all those eggs. It's a gamble either way. You may lose some and
you may save some. Since your bator has already been opened
and humidity has fluctuated I would go for it on all of them.

If you decide to do it just open the bator once, open them all up
and let their heads hang out. Break up the shells but don't remove
the shell yet. Then close the bator and let the temp climb back up.

After a few hours you can finish the job. Just do it once, all of them
together.


Again there are different opinions on this. I am only saying what
I would do, not what YOU should do.

 

[BirdBoy88]

True .. i have no problem helping them out.. if they need help i am there

but only thing even though they are hatch and stuck and the humidity is way off.. some of them still have blood in the egg and i don't know if that mean there bleeding or what?

 

[BirdBoy88]

ok here's a pics of the first chick that is walking around healthy and all

.......................

Now these 3 i helped they can't walk... they just lay there
