I had two more eggs to hatch. One pipped yesterday and zipped, but then never pushed out and ended up being dead when I got home :(

My last egg is hatching now. It pipped last night around 9 pm

Noon today (second pic)

2 pm (third pic)

Does the membrane look white and dried out? Has it been too long? I just worry I will lose this one like the one yesterday. Thanks!

IF (big IF) you choose to help, do so in a place that can be very warm, like mid 90s. I helped 2 chicks two hatches ago and chose to help them in my smallest bathroom. I turned hot water on in the tub and sink to get the room hot and steamy and had a rag soaking in warm water. 1 died and 1 lived and is healthy... Looking back I probably should just not have opened the bator top so much.
This was not my idea, I read someone else's post here on BYC that did what I just described.
