Pip at wrong eng

[TheLittleFarm18]

Anyone have any luck hatching chicks that pip at wrong in? As of now I have 3 that have pipped at wrong end, I can definitely see movement in one. I also hear chirping from at least one but that could be coming from the one egg pipped correctly.

Keep a log of when they pipped. Watch for progress and distress. You may have to assist but you want to wait long enough that the yolk is absorbed.

Thank you.

I read a few articles on it and am feeling better about it, seems like for the most part they do ok. Man am I gonna have a sore back from stalking them all day lol
