stuck chick

Hey all I’m on day 19 of hatching my second batch of coturnix and I have one little guy that has almost fully hatched but has been sat like this for almost three hours. He’s trying to push out but just can’t seem to get that final push out done. Would you leave him be or help him get the shell...

So I even went to ChatGPT with this and the thing said that it was both rare for an egg tooth to slice and not “crack” the shell, as well as get STUCK. I’m incubating 24 eggs from a coworker, silkie and olive eggers. This baby is a silkie and she made her initial pip, not only malpositioned...

We are almost through with day 18, and i saw the external pip 12 hours ago. The pip is tiny, and even with chick sounds in the background, i see no movement anymore. It has been 3 hours since the last wiggle or sound. I checked humidity and temp and it is stable. What do i do?

I noticed a pip on this egg around 9:45 am. It’s currently 1:37 pm and the chick has looked like this for maybe an hour? It’s trying to hatch out of the egg but it’s so clearly struggling. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if it’s stuck and I should help it? Here are some pictures. The red...

There’s something yellow, I guess maybe the yolk sac, still attached to shell which is attached to the chick. Is there anything I can do? Or do I just wait for it to come loose? Or dry out?

So my 'New Jersey reds' are kept in a large bowl shaped brooder that is in a large dog cage, and they as of recently have learned to jump out. usually they jump back in soon after, but today they have not gone back in at all, and I have seen them trying. I want to help them, but every time I...

My husband and I are hatching our second batch of eggs so we are still pretty new to it. We had this chick pip and start the process of hatching last night and has been stuck at this point since 12 last night and it is now 8:30 in the morning. It has been crying and the egg has been moving, the...

Hi all. I HAVE A CHICK TOTALLY TRAPPED IN DRIED MEMBRANE! Egg pipped at midday on Saturday (uk time here). It quickly unzipped, but then seemed very stuck. I have read a lot about this sort of thing, and knew to just wait 24 hours. The next day, two further chicks had hatched, but not this...

I've been hatching some Black Copper Maran and Isbar eggs from a local breeder. My parents helped out with a couple of the Isbar chicks as I was unavailable however the BCM chicks or at least one in particular appears to be having some trouble getting out of the egg: We started hearing them...

So to make a long story slightly shorter I work at a preschool and I’m certain that we have been incubating these eggs all wrong probably due to the fact that we had the incubator out for the kids and they’ve knocked the lid off several times and played with the heat settings. It’s day 24 and...

I came home from work to this today Basically she somehow got stuck under the chicken wire and now all he feathers under her wing are completely gone! The skin looks raw and red and I feel so bad for her. Is there anything I can do?! I can try to get a better picture of her now that she’s not...

Hello Hatching friends! This is our 3rd hatch in our homemade incubator which we hand turn. First 2 batches hatched had pretty high success rates....But this batch had temps and humidity up and down throughout. We did have 2 chicks hatch out without much effort on day 21 & 22. This Easter...

i have a chick that's been trying to hatch for what seems like forever now. It pipped and didn't do anything so I peeled a few pieces away to see if that would get it started and it wasn't doing much after about 12 hours. I read that if I peel enough of the shell away, it will be able to kick...
