Shipped Air Cell eggs Day 20

[HollowOfWisps]

Just wanted to give a progress results day 21. Of the 4 eggs 3 hatched last eve.
However the 4th has not begin to pip yet. I candled it and it shows only heart rate movement. How long do I wait before assisting?

If it's still alive I would leave it be for another day before intervening.

If it's still alive I would leave it be for another day before intervening.

I candled this morning on day 22 and saw breathing but I waited 8 hours to intervene and it no longer was alive. I’m not sure if the intestines were outside or what I’m looking at on the outside. If anyone is familiar with this, please advise
Thank you!

Thank you! That’s reassuring to know. As I’m reading this I just heard a peep! and one has already pipped.
Thanks again!

It can take as many as 25 days.Don't open it! Good luck!

I have a few shipped eggs with a saddle on air cell. They are on day 17. I did keep them still for the first few days, and the air cell is saddled but solid.

I gave them an early lockdown. day 17. The eggs below light ones are the shipped eggs, the rest are my hens eggs. (dark ones.) I have them on rope, so as they hatch they will not roll about.

As far as your shipped eggs, wait and see, and don't keep checking them. Good luck!

How did this hatch do? I’ve got some saddled (stable but saddled) air cells on my shipped eggs going into lockdown tonight & I’m trying to figure out how best to lay them…flat or upright. Ugh nerve racking since they’ve done so well thus far.

Some hatched, some didn't. I had a really good hatch with my own eggs during the late fall early winter. I hatched a bunch. Kept some and rehomed some. Some have gone to freezer camp.
