I know! It was just this one specific breeder. I tried two batches from her and they were terrible. But I have 9 really good looking eggs on day 10 from only one state away.

Omg! That is so awesome!! I finally just saw my first internal pip a couple weeks ago on a quail egg. I've still never seen one on a chicken egg! Was it making any sound? I'm so jealous...that looks so cool!

Yes! On my first batch, I didn't open the incubator after lockdown but I have the mini, so it's a plastic dome shape and I could hold the flashlight right up to the plastic and candle the egg. When I saw how much the air cell grew, I thought for sure that I killed them and the humidity was wrong...I panicked. Then I learned that it's the natural process. Now I get excited when I see that because I know it's close and it's still alive. I learned in my last batch that if they are DIS then draw down won't start/happen. Please post pics throughout the hatch!

Yolk? No I don't think so. Can you post a pic? Are you sure it's not poop? As for dipping his beak...what time did he hatch and what's going on with the other two eggs? He's still in the incubator, right?

no I put him in yhe brooder. I had to help him out of his shell, he had been trying to zip all night and was going up the egg instead of around it. So I put the egg in the brooder and pulled some of the shell off and he came right out.
ETA: He just came out about maybe an hour ago.

Do you have a thermometer in the brooder? That's great that you helped him out successfully. Zipping really shouldnt take that long and by that point all the vessels and yolk is absorbed. But..usually you would help him out and keep him in the incubator. They should stay in the incubator for a minimum of 1 hour, till they are dry, if they catch a chill they can die. How is he right now?? How's the other eggs?
