Wrong end pips

[KatrinaFox02]

I have 6 eggs due to hatch today. 2 have pipped - both towards the wrong end. Will these guys be okay? One has its beek out and is cheeping. The other pip only just happened and is tiny. Very worried - have I done something wrong to make this happen? ANy advice on how to proceed much appreciated x

they should hatch fine, keep track of the timeline and when they first pipped.

Here is an article towards the bottom you will see malpositioned info

Good Luck with them!

Thank you. The little guy with his beak out is still cheeping now and then, appears to stop for a little sleep every now and then too. Fingers crossed. Only 2 have pipped and both in the wrong place. I do hope I get some others that pip soon

yup they are in the resting phase between pip to zip and that could be 24 hrs + -

The little guy is still chirping away. I so hope he makes it. Number 2 has made a little more progress, and the initial pip was half way down the egg but it seems to be progressing towards the correct end so maybe this one is not back to front. Nothing from #3-6 yet :-(
