Hello! I have 6 eggs in the incubator and all of them have internally pipped but one (I’m not sure what’s happening with that one...) 2 I noticed internally pipped at lunch yesterday around 1:30. It hasn’t externally pipped yet but it is moving a lot. Should I make a safety whole?
Thx Alli
 
This look good? I haven’t added foot or water.

Yes. I made safety holes in all them because they all internally pipped except one. One of them even externally pipped!
The one that I wasn’t sure about was moving last night but the top was turning purple and there was also another purple spot. I think it is malpositioned..? I haven’t seen it move in a little bit (that I’ve seen) and I checked it today and I thought I felt it moving (maybe it was my shaky hands) but when I candled it, it wasn’t moving. The purple really concerns me and the saddle shape air cell also concerns me. I’ll attach some pictures. Should I be concerned? 03CED3AA-0B87-4574-9D3B-5D85D86AAAD4.jpeg 84F577C9-A358-4C34-8D63-3217067C0DEB.jpeg and the yellow stuff I thought was kind weird right by the air cell

@MGG @Pyxis my single duckling in the incubator can reach the heating element and has knocked its head on it a couple time quickly. I’ve burnt my hand on it and it is hot. I am going to bed soon and don’t want to have to worry about it burning it’s self. Is there anything you guys have done in this situation? What do you guys think? I’ve been trying not to open it so much cuz one has pipped but I have opened it a few times. Any advice? I also tried putting like a tray in their so it wouldn’t move as much and touch it but it was still tall
enough.
Thx Alli
