Please help day 21 newbie

[Greenacres1]

This is my first hatch. We are using a brinsea incubator. It's day 21 and there are 3 pips...yay! One of the other eggs was moving around and now has a crack line in it...no pip...Its about an inch long and I don't know if I should leave it or remove it or what else I can do with it. My only fear is that if it died it will contaminate the others. Thanks

If it was recently moving, then I think that there could still be a chance for it. At this stage you want to not open the incubator or open as little as possible....so if I were you I would sit tight.

Hope that some expert incubators will chip in and provide you good advice.

Thanks. I left it in there..doesn't look like any further cracking...and woke up at 4:30 to check on them since I couldn't sleep with anxiety and found 2 hatched peeps

Congratulations and good luck with the rest. What an exciting time.

Once you get a chance you can put up some pictures (I think that you need to have a certain number of posts under your belt before you anc post, or you can build your own page with pictures. -- Welcome to the forum too BTW! :O)

I'll check back to see those cute babies sometime in the future.
