Lewis Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Just make sure the humidity is up and hope for the best. They can take a long time to hatch, so don't give up hope just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Since you have picked it up the humidity will have gone, wet a tissue and gently soak the area around the hole to re-wet the membrane then place it back in the inccy and the humidity and that should do it, dont open the incubator after that or the membrane will dry out again Let us know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thats great, it may take another 12 hours to get out and should stay in the inccy till its dry afterwards as Egluntyne says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl_h Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 hi there i recently did a topic about my egg that wouldnt hatch. ok i had to hatch the egg myself today with my girlfriend, it just wasnt hatchin and it had been 2 days. i was reading about a successful method about taking away the shell and leaving just the membrane, i did that and waited 12 hours, it still hadnt hatched threw so we followed the next step which was to cut the membrane for the chick we did that had it was livly as ever. The problem is, is that its toes were slightly curled and it was putting its toes out proply like ot flat on the ground and was triping over, i did the toe splint method and also the splint between the legs becuz i noticedits legs were quite far apart, my problem is, is that when it falls over it trys to getup but fails only sometimes it may get up and it is struggling to walk any sugestions on what may be the problem because i was thinking of removing the leg sprint to see if that help it walk because maybe my judgement was wrong about the legs being spayed. heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53CPDpM0JgM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
