Hello all!! To summarize- first hatch, 9 eggs, three hatched on days 19-21. On day 22 another pipped but seemed to be stuck on day 23. I decided to do an assisted hatch after research. The chick is still alive, but has somewhat of a rotten egg smell. I'm leaving her in the incubator to warm up and dry off after the hatch. I have NO CLUE on what is the best process to follow now. Is the smell because she was trapped in the hatch for about 3 days or so? Is it some kind of infection? Should I attempt to feed her water? etc. Also, when I removed the membranes, she did have some poop that had come out- was not clogging the vent. THANK YOU ALL AHEAD OF TIME!!!! I HOPE SHE LIVES!!!!
