Been too quiet, people. It's Friday, the week is winding down, and WV and I just crossed the MI state line.

Hello all. Need advice. Have a malposition pip and it's been the same for about 10 or so hours. According to the step by step guide : https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching - I am to wait about to 10-12 hours to begin the assist. I am still 2 hours away from starting Day 20.

Few questions:

1- I'm afraid of breaching the lockdown to begin the assist. If I remove the Malposition pipped egg quick enough (ie- 20 seconds or less) can I open the incubator without harming the other eggs?

2- according to the guide I am only to remove a piece of the shell (no larger than 1/4")and make a slit to the inner membrane to allow them to breathe...any other advice from some of you that have experience with assisting malposition ?

Thanks again for your help.

UPDATE- so far 4 healthy hatches......

By your last pic, looks like it is coming along. I like to leave my assists just as long as possible. I'd personally rather help them out of glued membranes than worry about un-absorbed vascular or egg yolk. As long as he can breathe, all should be well.

The prospect:

l61995245-m0o.jpg


It's only 115 years old so we won't see it reach 200. But it has 15 acres, a branch of the Flint River, rolling terrain, paved road, trees, and a wraparound porch. Room for more birds, though I will only keep enough layers for our own uses. Room for a horse. Room for my cars, my tools, and my accumulated "stuff". Dark skies to use our telescope. Outdated decor, but that's easy to fix. And buying would be financially moving downmarket, allowing DH to retire and take care of things, or to find a job he can do remotely even if it pays less, as we won't have a house payment any more. It lacks originality other than staircase and a built in cupboard and some trim. It's clad in vinyl siding (DH's first comments: it has vinyl windows and siding. I wonder if the wood siding looks good behind the vinyl?). It's only a few miles from my new beef supplier and our long time Christmas tree farm. It's only a mile and a half from a major freeway which will reduce my travel time considerably when I need to travel for work. It's 45 minutes closer to our place up north. And it's between two nice sized towns that offer all the services we could want, plus a city within 25 miles to cover anything else. It makes all the sense in the world. I hope it is what it looks to be...

Absolutely beautiful house! I wish you the best, and wisest decision.
