Ok top pick is fat end an u can see the safe hole i made. The second is the small end of the egg to show how much yellow there is

Ok im freaking out, i made a tiny hole, i dont hear anything and now he isnt pushing like he was. I see movement in the hole, an up and down movement like breathing. But the hole is too tiny to see what im actually looking at moving. The body under membrane? The beak? Plz help!

OK first lets calm down, LOL, The hole isn't going to kill him first of all, it's only going to help. did you candle him yet??

There is about 7-10% yellow space at the small end of the egg.

YEK, OK he sounds STICKY. We will have to attempt something..

The shadowy Mass in the middle is that Moisture?

The yellow isn't good. Ok well we can try a couple of things but understand this isn't a guaranteed he'll make it. We can either give him another day and see how things go, or try and help him. I can't say for sure we will be successful.

here's what I think we should do, Now that you have his safe hole, JACK UP THAT HUMIDITY.. get it close to 75%, will give him ONE more day..

yes, I think my second option would be better but I am going to leave it up to you, what ever you feel comfortable..

Id like to get my toddler in bed if i can before attempting anything. But if u think i should do it now i will!

See what we need to do is loosen up that gooey stuff the only way to do it is by getting the humidity up really high. he's pretty much stuck, once we can get that gooey stuff loosened up, then he should be able to move about better.
