Hello,
New to community but have been reading tips for a while. We started hatching Silkie eggs a few months back and have had two good hatches in an incubator. We are now doing our third batch but things arn't going the same. For the first two, they pipped and zipped and hatched very quickly on the 20th day.
This batch has pipped 4/5 eggs, but two of them seem to be stuck or are going more slowly. It is the 20th day. I've attached photos. For one, it pipped this morning but it looks like the beak is out and it hasn't moved since this afternoon.
For the second, it has been like this for the past hours with no progress. Does it look ok to let keep going on its own?
Don't want to open it for fear of losing them all. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
