I have an egg that has been peeping for 3 days and has a small hole chipped out on the side next to the incubator wall. It gets really loud sometimes, but is not doing anymore chipping on shell. I've never seen this before.
YOU WERE SO RIGHT! I feel terrible. I hope the poor thing makes it. I pulled enough off that it could push itself the rest of the way out & is in the process of drying. It is almost a week late though. I think I know what happened. I wanted to do the Easter challenge & set my eggs on the 22nd of March. The only problem was I was going to be out of town visiting my daughter. So, I asked my neighbor to set them for me. I told her the importance of the temp & I had set the temp before I left, But when I got home 4 days later the thermometer read 106. I immediately adjusted it, but I'm thinking it dryed out the membrane. It actually burned it, you can tell by looking at it now. None of my other eggs hatched. Thx so much for your suggestion. I'll let you know if this chick makes it. Poor baby.
