Signs of When to HELP

Here are some examples of how I did it. Ideally, I like to do it the way it's made on the video, maybe even open it less than that. On the last pic you can see a chick that is fully ready to hatch, it has shell and membrane removed, and I removed the placenta as well after I took the photo. This was sort of a hail mary, it was day 25 I believe and a full day after piping so I decided to help the fella out. In the video you can still see the blood vessels, it's the same hatch, 25 days in and I helped out a little, but I left him in the shell so the blood would absorb properly.
Thank you so much for these pictures!! After finding these posts, I was able to save two of my chicks that were trapped in their shells because of dried membranes! I've now fixed what caused it, and hope that the rest of my hatch is ok, but I'd have been less two if I hadn't seen this!
