Is he still breathing?

With how much blood/vessels/veins is showing in the membrane that chick is not ready for hatching at all. All that would normally be absorbed into the the chick before hatching. I’m very sorry but be prepared for this chick to not survive.

What day did you set these eggs? it looks a bit early.

By chance did this chick pip the wrong end of the egg missing the air cell ?
My thought is he hit outside the air cell and then 24 hours becomes 48
Often people jump in to help wrong end babies to soon
I would have him in a small bowl lined with paper towel placed back in bator so he doesn’t move that yolk around and rupture it

If chickie does make it, and dries off, fluffy up, becomes active, detaches on his own, would some egg yolk mixed with water help him?

To clarify - chickie got himself out of the shell on his own? Or you removed eggshell pieces, and *then* he got out?

If baby does absorb and gets moving he may not need anything as he will have just finished his yolk. But poultry cell or Nutridrench may give baby the little boost
Praying the little one makes it
Some do others don’t it’s unfortunately a waiting game now

It is. I don't see eggyolk in first two photos, but I do see it in the 3rd, where he's still in the incubator. It may just be hiding in the first ones, but it doesn't look like there's much left to absorb

He broke the top half of his shell off by himself, I let him sit for a day and no progress so I then helped him some and did that until he slid himself out.

How is he doing now?
