The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

[BantyChooks]

I have an internal pip in one of my Ameraucana eggs.

11 chicks, two ducklings, 1 more chick in the incubator, 4 more pips, and one zipping!

Still no pips on my seramas..... I'm gonna try to be patient and wait until day 22-23...

I have an internal pip in one of my Ameraucana eggs.

I've never understood Internal pips... are they pips that haven't broke the membrane yet?

Pips that haven't broken the shell yet. Let me grab a picture.

I woke up to the stuck chick still stuck so I helped it out. It's alive but not very active.
On day 15 I dropped a green egg on its end and patched it up. It had been pipped nearly as long as the partial zipped egg so I softened the membrane for it as well last night. It hatched but it's way smaller than its full siblings and has a red thing attached to its butt, looks like a placenta. It's walking around peeping.

I found 3 dead in the shell also this morning.

Oh no!
Can you see if the little one gunk is attached by more than just a thread? I may just be hatching gunk, or may be intestines. Hopefully just normal gunk.

My first hatch!!! Great way to wake up on Easter morning! One more with a pip and another being slow.

Yes chickens. Ok great.

I quickly snatched the cracked eggto remove the wax. Its loudly peeping and I can see it trying to internal pip in there. Any tips how to give it the best shot?

I've never "fixed" a cracked egg, but it sounds like you are doing fine.
