On day 23 of hatching shipped eggs. 9 of 15 that went into lockdown have hatched. I have had two pip at the wrong end and die in the shell. I have one egg left that appeared to have life with candling but wasn’t really moving. I could just see breathing?? I put a safety hole in the air cell end and found there to still be lots of blood vessels in the membrane. I put the egg back in the bator. So my question is should I try to cover the hole or just leave it? The humidity is at 79% the membrane is white. I can still she the chick breathing and moving every now and then. Any advice on where to go from here? I did not feel a beak at the membrane and it does have a saddle cell. I have also read the guide for assisted hatching and know it’s too soon to do anything because of the blood vessels

What happened with your egg in the end?
It didn’t make it. There is a thread call hatching helping hands or something like that. I was able to post there and get great responses. In the end we couldn’t save it.
