blood in hatched shell???

[gypsyroseplus6]

This guy had a heck of a time. The shell broke before the membrane. 3/4th of the shell was off. membrane dried out and was bright white hand had brown patches like dried blood. I put a wet paper towel around it (this was a natural hatch not incubator) I left it on its own under mom last night (had been going at it for 30 hours). Came out this am. Chick hatched but there was blood in its shell what is going on!!!????

Can you get some SaveAChick or Poultry Nutri-Drench to give the chick? I am not that experienced with hatching problems, but here is a thread about a similar experience: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/803144/help-inner-membrane-bloody

Here is a good homemade electrolytes recipe to use, and if you just add some B Complex vitamins, or give 2-3 drops of PolyVisol baby vitamins without iron, you will have a good substitute. Pedialyte and Gatorade will work in a pinch.

HOMEMADE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION
1/2 teaspoon salt substitute* which is potassium
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 gallon water

You can easily make a quart or liter by dividing this recipe by 4.
