Zipping egg leaking

[TundraFang]

So I have an egg that pipped yesterday and has now started zipping. I wasn't home when it started zipping but I came home to it lying in a pool of yellow liquid. It's still alive, I can see it breathing. Anyone know what happened?

I haven't see this before.. following to learn about it.

I wouldn't worry to much if it's still alive. As long as it's not early. Maybe humidity was a little high and all the liquid didn't go like it should have

The humidity was sitting steady at 60% but once it pipped it spiked to 80%. Maybe that's the issue. It's still making progress so I'm hoping it's okay

I too, have not seen this before. Hope everything is OK with the little one.

it's out! It's so ugly omg It seems alright, no obvious deformities and the yolk is absorbed. It hasn't opened its eyes or made any noise yet... This is weird.

It wasn't moving so I removed the shell and flipped it over but it's still breathing. It hasn't moved at all...

It's moving around a bit and it cries when I touch it. It was super gooey and crusty so I washed it in warm water and dried it off with a paper towel. It's back in the bator now but it's not looking good...

Too high of humidity does this. Usually 1 or 2 chicks will hatch and the humidity will spike so high it drowns all of the others... When I first started hatching chicks this happened to me and then I learned. Less water is better.
I incubate 30-40% and hatch 50-60%.

it's starting to sit up but I think it's eyes are too crusty to open fully and it's still not peeping but it's definitely improving.
