Every batch of chicks I've had a handful pip entirely in the wrong spot. And they still hatch just fine. Last batch, I had one zip that NEVER pipped at all. I can confirm from hatch debris that one from last night's hatch never pipped the air cell, it just pipped the small end and the zipped.
How common is this, or how common for them to successfully hatch? And what cause my high rate of incorrect pipping? Is it caused by genetics? Incubation habits? What?
