This is a duck I assume? Best thing to do is leave it be otherwise it will bleed out. I made this mistake with my first hatch thinking it was stuck and I done more damage. Moisten the membrane with coconut oil or Vaseline and let it do its thingHello,
I started an assisted hatch yesterday at about 5 pm- that was day 25. We just opened up the shell at the air cell wide enough to see that he was just a bit behind and seemed to be doing well. It is now 12:30 on day 26 and he's very active- the problem is is that he is trying to break out but there are still a few veins, which has caused a few little blood pools to form.
If I hadn't assisted I would assume that he knew what he was doing, but I'm worried I confused him and he is breaking out too early. It's my first hatch (as you can probably tell) so I'm not sure what to do... does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
