PLEASE HELP CHICK HASNT HATCHED

[Finnisadoggy]

Today is day 26. all other chicks have hatched. we have candled the egg and it is alive, we see movement and that it’s breathing. hasn’t chirped yet. I’m worried that if I don’t help it may die I’m not sure what to do!

Should I try to poke the air cell I’ve heard that people do that?

Chicken egg? I would make a safety hole. And if its not internally pipped and no blood vessel, I would break the membrane and let it breath. From there make sure the membrane stays moist. If it hasn't done anything in another 24 hours, then I would assist.

It’s a dark egg so we can’t see where it’s beak is do we just put a hole in the egg sack we are very new at this and yes it’s a chicken egg

Put a small hole in the air cell. You can do it while candling or just poke it at the very top of the fat end. I would use somethong like a toothpick.

Was it moving? Internally pipped?
