Setting Eggs Sept. 24th-Oct. 4th-Last Hatch of the Year. Anyone care to join me?

I am copying from my answer to Fur N Feathers. Was this egg one with a wonky air cell? It could have pipped into the air cell if it was that low. Or the chick never turned around. I would go ahead and place it on it's side and watch the egg closely for continued movement. If nothing happens within a few hours then I would get some tweezers and gently start peeling the shell away. If you see blood STOP immediately and put it back in the bator. If there are no blood vessels left I would start zipping the egg for him. I had one that pipped the wrong end a couple of hatches ago and was told a little too late that I should have intervened. Sadly I lost that chick.
This one has a good aircell. Okay I am going to lay it on it's side.
 
I have five rir chicks and one that is suppossed to be a dominque and seven eggs pipped and one zippping....

Congratulations!!!
 
This one has a good air cell. Okay I am going to lay it on it's side.
Okay, I checked and her beak is sticking out the side. Poor baby is chirping away. I removed a little of the shell so she can breathe. I put her on the egg carton sideways so her brother doesn't roll her around. I will keep watch on her. I check the other egg that pipped this morning below the air cell (this one was a wonky cell) and it was dead. I am putting this in God's hands and giving him all the glory for those who are successful in this hatch! Rockie is a lil fighter.
 
Am adoring all the little fuzzies and cant wait for mine...I am on day 2!!!!
Yes!.... nice saves to all who helped little ones out. GOO Luvck on the rest to all!!WHHHOOHOOO!.
 
I'm keeping all the chicks nice and warm, I had to move the showgirls to the brooder a day early since they were pecking on the tiny Seramas so I'm keeping the Seramas still in the bator,they are super tiny I had no idea they were going to be the size of the tip of my thumb,I thought one egg had double embryos but looks like I was wrong,it seems cuz of their size I'm going to have to give extra care and attention to these babies one is white and one is black, I will try take pix of them tomorrow,I'm feeding the showgirls that grow gel plus B when they start eating

chirping is a good thing!! her brother's chirping will motivate her to get going hopefully.

Make sure to give that to the Seramas too. I have some ordered for when my Seramas hatch
 
Our eggs are cheeping, our eggs are cheeping! I want to pick up each egg and look for a pip sooooo badly but I don't want to fuss around with them too much! Plus the mother keeps giving me the stink eye everytime I lift her up to look at the eggs :x
I'll just have to get up super early tommorow to hopefully see some babies!
