How did things turn out?

I currently have 4 CDS babies, and 3 of my silkie's. One little Amadeus chick is not going to make it

he pipped a lg whole in the egg, and then gave up. (24 plus hours) I attempted to help, and we got him out of the shell, but he is weak and not thriving.
I still have 6 eggs yet to hatch, but we are only on the end of day 21.

Could you pull him out and give him some polyvisol? I do that....

Fingers are still crossed....

Aww shoot! Well I hope he pulls through. How's the Gino egg doing? I have two from him that are still developing and I'm anxious to see how others do with his eggs. Hoping everything goes well from here on out for you!

Well...the little guy is still with us. I pulled him out and gave him a vitamin drop, and took a better look, he has a bit of an umbilical stub on his bottom? He just lays flat out in the bator, but has moved positions. I think what happened is he didn't have the egg yolk fully absorbed when he pipped such a large hole. Then the membrane dried and he was getting shrink wrapped.

The others aren't showing much sign of wiggles, or pips, but I've had in this batch, chicks pip and zip all within an hour. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of them!

The little Gino egg is still one I'm waiting on, and getting nervous.!

My fingers are crossed too! Glad the little guy is still around. I've had that with several that I have to help. Usually it takes up to 3 days for them to get their footing. I would just give him a vitamin drop everyday if you can and give him time. It's a 50/50 chance but never hurts to try!

The little amadeus baby is up and around. He is now in the brooder with the others, he is a tiny thing! Definetly slower than the others, but I'm keeping fingers crossed for him.

I haven't had any activity from the other 6 eggs We are ending day 23. I'm concerned that opening the bator to help the little guy, upset the rest of the hatch, but I could not stand to see the poor little guy suffering! You could tell he was starting to fail.

Well, if I only end up with these 7, I'm still happy. They are little cuties!

Another update..
I transfered the little ailing baby back to the bator. He just wasn't keeping warm enough in the brooder. I think, by how he's acting, if he makes it to morning it will surprising. But at least now, he's warm and comfortable, sleeping on a pillow of paper towel. The little guy sure has pulled on my heartstrings...

Yay! That is good news!!! I would honestly open the bator and candle the remaining eggs. That is what I do. At least I then know if any have internally pipped and might need help getting out due to shrink wrapping. However, this is just what I do and I know others do not feel comfortable messing with things.
