Any progress from the chick yet? Day 19 is a tad early but not totally unusual. I'm not quite sure from your pic but has the chick pipped at the pointy end of the egg and not the fat end? If this is the case it will need extra time to hatch as it will have missed out the internal pipping part of...

Your membrane looks ok, white and moist. I would not do anything else with them now. The blood needs to absorb. Because there is blood they are not ready to hatch yet. Keep the humidity high as with no shell it could dry out now. How long had they been pipped before you removed the shell...

I would agree with cindi that he should be fine when he dries off and fluffs up. The umbilical should dry up and fall off on its own. Please don't pull anything as the could cause an abdomen rupture. I'm a little confused with what you have said about brooding in the incubator :idunno How long...

If the shell has cracked it has air to breathe, they don't always make an actual hole straight away. Most pips just start with a crack in the shell.

You dont need to do anything yet for at least 24 hours. It has missed its internal pip out so will need more time to absorb yolk and blood vessels. Some malpositioned chicks successfully hatch on their own with no help. Should you need to assist have a read of this article ~...

Did the chick zip round the shell on its own or have you removed some to help it zip? On the membrane is all the blood absorbed? With the red from the lamp I can't make out what blood maybe left.

Good luck and keep us posted on how the chick gets on. The chick should fluff up better under the hen/s!! It drying is a good sign and hopefully once the chick has its fluff the hen/s should not see it as much.

I didn't realise it was from under a hen, I thought it was incubator chick. Me personally I would leave it under the hen and let nature take its course. Is she still sitting in the nest? How long had it been trying to hatch before you helped it? I'm an incubator hatcher and have only had my...

Looks like things have not quite absorbed or it has a bit of a hernia. As you have said it has dried some and if the chick were mine I would still leave it for now and let it rest to see how it goes. Try to keep the area as clean as you can so it does not get infection there.

The glob sounds like it is clotting which is what you want. For now there is not a lot more you can do. At 2 hours it will still be exhausted, even a normal hatch (not assisted) I would still expect them to be tired and not doing a great deal. Is the glob blood or does it look more like...

No problem, hatching can be both exciting and nerve wracking all rolled into one!! Good luck with your chick :fl

Yes I do, first off don't panic :hugs It sounds like just the umbilical cord. Some do hatch with it still attached. There is no need to remove it and it's best not to either. Removing can cause bleeding and a rupture to the abdomen. Just leave it be and it will dry up and eventually fall off...

Does it look like a string?

Congratulations :celebrate So pleased it is doing well, good luck with her :fl

There is an awful lot of blood still in that membrane. It's not ready to hatch. Wrap it up in warm wet paper towels and leave it in the incubator. Don't cover the bill it still needs to breathe. Get your humidity as high as you can. All that blood still needs to be absorbed. It does not look...

At 8 hours they don't need help. It can take upto 24 hours from external pip to hatch. They need to absorb yolk and blood vessels before they hatch. They also do alot of resting. I see your post is from nearly 20 hours ago so I'm hoping the eggs have hatched ok?
