Yesaterday 2 pekin bantam chicks hatched on day 22. However, i checked the other 2 eggs in the bator and one has internally pipped but no external and the other one doesnt seem to be doing anything. Should i make an external pip to see if he needs help or is still ali9ve?

It does take chicks more than 24 hours to hatch start to finish sometimes, but if you are 100% sure the chicks are in trouble you can try and help. this thread will tell you how:

I opened up the last 2 eggs and unfortunately they havent survived just a repeat of the last terrible hatch

Sorry to hear that

I hate when that happens, I always try to look at the positive and be happy that I got any. I had tons of bad hatches, the worst being new and not knowing how to hatch. I am fortunate that if I only have one hatch, I can run down the road to the hatchery to get him friends. It will be okay. Don't get discouraged. Try, Try again.

many of us were there at on time. I learned to let my broodies hatch my shipped eggs. They do so well. When all else fails hatch a boat load of your own eggs, expecting a few and then they all hatch

Chin up, winter is upon us and bored, crazy chicken people, have a blast all winter long.

Thankyou Michelle Sorry for the late reply. Haven't been on for a while

Luckily someone not far from me had some chicks for sale so i brought 9 of those (couldnt help myself). Unfortunately 5 have died and i have no idea how/why as they all have evactly the same things like food water and heat. Hopefully the remaining 5 survive. I'll be so gutted if they don't.

Thanks all for the comments
