So out of 12 bearded Silkie eggs I have 6 hatched. Sadly two fully formed and dead int their shells. They appeared to pip but not zip.
I have removed all the chicks to the brooder.
there is one egg left. It has pipped but doesn’t seem to be doing anything.
i panicked after the two dead in shell ones and so I picked some of the shell. Tried to removed some of membrane and hit blood so stopped. Warm water I. Sponges at each side to compensate for op wing the incubator.
That was over four hours ago and there has been no progress. A lot of cheeping, I can see movement. But no zipping.
It’s nerve wracking isn’t it!
any advice gratefully received please xx
first pic was dead in shell. Second is pip but no zip. Thanks
