If the chick pipped internally, as I understand you to be saying it is pipping through the membrane inside the egg but not the shell and it is still moving, then all is good. Movement is good. I do not watch my eggs so closely so I am not as good to help with this. I figure God let them do this for thousands of years without my help so I will let it continue. I try to keep my hands off, if possible. Not that I actually have over the years but I try.
Dropping to 86 degrees is pretty bad to possibly kill a hatch but I always continue with as much hope as possible.
I understand about the high humidity after washing. Debra and Donna came over yesterday to pick up chicks and brought another 60 eggs to set so I cleaned out Debra's Lil Giant still air and am waiting for the humidity to level off in it. I guess I will set them this morning sometime. Chicks can sure make a nasty mess at hatching!
I hope so...I think atleast one of the three will hatch...will be happy with that...my other eggs( I set in one bator every friday night) look great except for one with a definate blood ring!!
