You have been absolutely amazing btw, thank you so much for your support, it just might have saved the life of one of my wee babiesā¦we will seeI hope for the best for her, but it does sound like she may have passed.Please let me know how it turns out with these last 2.
Ok thanks so much. I have read that article already about 5 times over the last 2 weeks
I will try the damp cloth and see what happensā¦ do I put it over the whole egg? You know what Iāve just realised, I think itās also malpositioned like one of the other ones was. I though I could see shadow of a beak when I candled but thereās no sign of it, instead it looks like I can see maybe a vent? Itās head is probably at the other end away from the air cellā¦
You are very welcome. I am hoping sheāll be okay
. Many of us have gone through the same heart-wrenching anxiety. We are here for you! By the wayā¦. welcome, from Ohio, to our wonderful community. 
I desperately need a wine after this! Itās after 5pm here so completely acceptable Ok, warm cloth applied, have wrapped the egg in it but left open the end with the holeā¦ will let you know what happens but think it might be over for the poor wee thingOk thanks so much. I have read that article already about 5 times over the last 2 weeks
It's really good that you've done your research like that. That's probably helping you a lot! With the cloth, I would cover as much as I could without covering the hole.Ok thanks so much. I have read that article already about 5 times over the last 2 weeks
Yes I would absolutely be in there boots and all if I could, but unfortunately the chick hasnāt draw the membrane blood in yet. Because it hasnāt internally or externally pipped all the membrane is still filled with blood. If I tried to do a full assist at this point it would bleed to death anyway. I donāt think thereās anything else I can do but maybe wait?
Ok then. Yes, I would say wait. Hopefully it starts to pip soon, though it might not until tomorrow. For now, I would try to keep the incubator closed and give them time to make progress. Chicks do sleep a lot during hatching, so allowing them to get some rest is good too.
She is very weak, just chirping ever now and then and sometimes moving, nothing like the others, they all kicked up such a racket when they hatched. Does anyone have any advice as to whether I should give her anything? I thought she might be dehydrated as she was 2 1/2 days overdue and shrink wrapped so gave her a drop of warmed water on a bud which she drankā¦could I be doing anything else?
