Pipped no zip

Lower the humidity a bit, should be around 60 to 65%, they can drown at 80%. Quail pip and zip pretty quick, I think you will need to assist any that go over 24 hours.

But I see vessels still. It's whole beak is just about out it's little hole it made though.

I am sorry you are having troubles.

It's ok. I just want the lil one to make it. It's still moving and is responsive to light when I check on it.

When you candled were the air cells big enough?

They were. But it doesn't look like it was near it when it pipped. When it pipped I was like what are you doing...hahaha..go down

What was your humidity during the main cycle? It should have been around 40%. 45% max.

 

[Moonie979]

It stayed in between that.

I'm just waiting it out.

Sad to say that it's gone. I let it stay in the incubator but the veins were not going anywhere. I attempted to assist and just peel the shell because when I pulled it out to check on it I noticed the little tooth that was there, was no longer there. It stuck it's little beak out too far and busted another vein that was right on the edge of the hole. After that, it took a few more breaths and was gone. I opened it's shell and noticed not only did it have no room for any movement but the yolk sac was not there, yet the membrane was full of very full veins. However, the little one was not fully developed either.

I am so sorry, it's never easy to lose them no matter how old they are, even this little one.
