Help with assisted chicken hatch!

[Hg123]

Hello! I have an egg that pipped over 48 hours ago. I started opening the egg and outer membrane but there was a tiny bit of blood so I stopped about 3/4 of the way done. When I peek inside of the egg he seems to be wrapped in the inner membrane and I still see small pink blood vessels. What do I do?! It seems so weak, and has been pipped for so long but I’m afraid to remove it with bleeding/blood vessels. Is this normal this long after pipping?

Can you post a picture of the egg?

it needs more humidity.

Ok! I’ve had it between 75 and 80. And I’ve been misting with Luke warm water (per a local vet recommendation).

in that case, the humidity should be fine. I would stop misting, as that may have a negative impact. instead, keep the membrane moist with plain vaseline, or plain coconut oil.

I'm not seeing any active veins. I would go ahead and pop the cap off the egg.

Thank you! I was unsure of this and afraid the make it worse.

Good to know! Thank you!
