@New duck mommy 2021 and anyone else.....
HELP!!!!!!!!! I did a BIG BIG mistake!!!!!!!! So the last 2 eggs hatched that were pipped. I candled the one I did a safety hole in a few times and didn't think I saw movement. yesterday I would think maybe I saw the shadow in the air cell moving but then I wouldn't see it so wasn't sure if it was or not. then last night (well early am) I had checked a couple times and saw nothing so made a bigger hold so I could SEE in there and see if any movement and there was nothing. but figured I would leave it overnight JIC. checked this am and no movement, checked early afternoon and nothing from looking in the hole and also candling.. so decided to do an eggtopsy to figure out what went wrong. popped off the top and there was MOVEMENT!!! crap! quickly put coconut oil on the membrane (took a quick pic) and put the egg top back on (thankfully it popped off in one piece) and put it back in. checked a bit later to see if I killed it and no movement even when I touched it but wasn't taking a chance so put it back for an hour to see if any change, checked and it is still alive and moving. there are still a ton of veins and I don't think internally pipped. Did I give it a death sentence? do I just leave it and wait and see? do I try to internally pip near bill so it can maybe absorb veins and yolk sac? I will post the pic I have of it opened. one of how it is closed.
Up humidity higher then normal because it’s been opened 75-80I would put the top back on and wrap kitchen plastic wrap over it lightly but so it isn’t getting to that membrane
We don’t want it to dry out abd shrink wrap
Then leave it be for a good while
Check for internal pip in 8-12 hours
