    mid hatch death? 3 hatched, 4 stopped progressing. What’s going on?

    I have 7 eggs. 3 hatched today— day 21. But the other 4 just stopped. No pips, peeps, movement, nothing since approximately 12-1pm. It’s 4:22pm now EST. Hatching with a broody. What could possibly be happening? Did they die??? What do I do? First time btw. Thanks in advance!

    Chick hatching trouble

    I’m not sure if this is the right place to put this but I need help! I have a chick that pipped on the wrong end of the egg but I was not super worried because within 6 or so hours it started the unzipping process. Except it started 12 hours ago and it isn’t making any progress now. Is it...

    Hatching Troubles - No progress after external pip
