Thanks.. :)

Yes I always replace with warm moist paper towels for humidity.. :) Ok I'm going to leave her for a bit. Thanks. :)

So just leave it then?

Lol. Usually they chirp non stop and peck back lol.

I thought that to at first but when it didn't stop and kept moving in a straight line I thought it must be zipping. I've hatched quite a few eggs now but have no experience with wrong end pips

I tapped the egg. It chirped once then went silent. ?

One other is externally pipped on the right end. No activity there yet. The 3 others have nothing going on yet...

It started as a tiny Starburst

Here are the pics

Ok guys I have an egg that externally pipped the wrong end sometime while I was sleeping. I was going to wait to help but I'm worried now. It's has started to zip a bit towards the tip of the pointy end. It was really going to town but now has stopped. Not abnormal they take a break. Because of...

Yes I have read it so many times lol. All these chicks we malpositioned. The 1 I lost pipped into the wrong egg. I lost it when I was trying to make sure it had air. I struck a vein. :( the first I lost I was trying to follow the directions and wait until absolutely necessary. I just waited to...

Sorry I didn't update. I was up all night. 2 out of the 5 chocks passed. The first one I should have assisted but I waited to long. The second one I think I assisted to soon. I felt so awful about that one. The third is still up in the air. She seems to be doing better but she had a vein cutting...

Ok I went ahead and just peeled enough away to find the beak on the one. Still enough veining that it's not ready to come out yet. It was backwards though. Beak on the small end. For this other one I can't tell what's what. I'm thinking I'll start in the air cell and work my way through until I...

I want to help but I don't have alot of experience and I'm afraid I might do more damage then help. I did 2 assist on my last hatch and the chicks are great now. That doesn't make me feel confident at all. I actually am terrified. I don't want to lose my babies though.

Hey guys I could really use some help. I had 12 shipped silkie eggs. Through incubation at different times they all stopped developing until their were 5 left. Hatch day only 1 hatched. Now day 22 and 2 out of 4 had internally pipped. Waited 12 hours and candled again but they both were...

Ok thanks I'm going to wait now.. :)

I took some of the shell off but left the membrane from where it had started to zip. I can hear it pecking and chirping so I sat it on a wet paper towel and put it back in the incubator. I raised the humidity to about 78 percent.. I wet the membrane but still didn't see the beak. I didn't want...

ok thanks.. :)

If I help it how can I keep the membrane moist? Will opening the incubator harm the other one? They are shipped eggs.

Ok ib going to let it be for a few more hours then check back. My other hatch 8 out of 9 chicks hatched and everything went so smoothly. These were due the next day and nothing. We are on day 22 now with only 2 pips and only 4 eggs. This batch just went wrong somewhere...
