Have you calibrated your hygrometer? It looks like a humidity problem to me but maybe others will comment.

its 6 off (ei 30 is 36) i will redo it before i incubate any more eggs though

It looks to me like you'd be okay chipping a bit more shell off the top half of the egg, shine a flashlight on the membrane and tweezer/trim off any in the top half that doesn't have vessels. I think at this point you could leave off the moist papertowel off the egg and just leave it in the incubator. Its head is probably wrapped around funny and can't extend itself.

i got its head out and yolk looks asorbed now its up to it to get out the rest of the way. come on little one you can do it!!

Definitely looks like a humidty problem, you may have to continue to help the last one if he can't make any progress, just peal some shell away put him back in for about an hour, then repeat the process.. If he's to dry he's not going to do it on his own.. If he looks all absorbed, you should be OK..by helping him...

 

[hdowden]

this is how far he has made it thus far. i only freed his head up (although i am hoping she)

edit he has his leg twisted and has been trying to untwist with no avail. i have looked closer and yolk doesnt seem asorbed all the way!!!!

oh i hope he makes it

also would it be safe to clip the white that his leg is tangled in?

 

[Lacrystol]

I would cut the white thing loose from him... I would be afraid of it getting dried up or start to tighten up around his little foot and cutting off the circulation. With that much progress, he is just going to get more and more wiggly.. As long as there's no blood, you should be alright.. In the one picture it looks a little bit tight already, try to at least get it off his foot...

 

[hdowden]

i was able to ease it off and from him moving and all looks like he has a fair amount of yolk still

but he is chirping and peeping and moving like crazy though. i just hope he makes

 

[Lacrystol]

OH BOY, you have me on the edge of my seat now, the yolk not fully absorbing could be a problem, but as long as he keeps moving... CROSSING FINGERS.....
