Sorry for the graphic photos
Aw, so sorry. I got kind of teary eyed- the gran's ONE egg is due to hatch this weekend....
The little guy didn’t make it. I went into assist because he wasn’t moving this morning. I opened it up and he was dead. I’m so very disappointed. He looked like he had absorbed most all his yolk sac. He only had one eye. I’m so very sad. He was alive last night when I went to bed and his air cell had drawn down this morning.
I'm so sorry!
Thanks both of you.
Do you think there was anything I could have done to save it? I didn’t want to assist yet yesterday because it had not internally pipped and was facing the wrong direction. It internally pipped in the night and was in the air cell so I’m not sure what happened. Should I have assisted yesterday? It was dead by the morning
That’s a tough loss. 
Since you mentioned it was missing an eye there may have been other issues what weren't easily identified by just looking. It's very possible that even with assistance it wouldn't have survived long. Sometimes these things happen and it's no fault of yours!
Thank you both of you. I feel a lot better now. I was really hoping the little guy would have made it. Maybe you’re right @CluckNDoodle I’m not sure why it only had one eye.I’m so sorry
I agree that helping sooner likely wouldn’t have changed the outcome. It died before it was ready to hatch, helping it hatch when it wasn’t ready would just have left you feeling like you did something wrong. You don’t need that guilt. You did what you could for the little guy.
I’m so sorry Funnyfarm!
I know that this was an important egg for you! I think that the deck was stacked against this little one.
