Sally sunshine if your on here please help or anyone please help. All my chicks hatched on the 23rd and so no more since then so I candeled them to check them and I took out ones that were not ok cracked open and was all wet yolk. I put a small hole in one that told me don't just crack chip away I wash I never took it out when I put a tiny hole in I saw a chicken breathing help I have put a hole in the egg do I crack the rest open and get her out or will she be ok I have a hole in the empty air sac I think cause I can see a membrane over chick. Help help help anyone help
 
As long as its not bleeding it should be fine.

I used to raise parrots as a business, when the chicks peeping became weak I would assist its hatching. What I did was in a dark room, held a flashlight under it and would help chip away the shell around the pip line or where the egg tooth would crack making sure I didnt nick a blood vessel. The biggest thing is to make sure its staying warm and moist.

It was a very easy mistake to make!!!! And the fact that it hadnt hatched yet may mean it might not have. I would wait a few hours and check it again. The biggest thing is keeping the humidity at the correct high rate so membrane doesnt dry out. How big is the hole?
Also, I am often on WInsconsin Cheeseheads thread and there are many awesome people on it at all time that hatch-Im asking others on there that have a lot of expereince with hatching-to see if any of them jump over here with advice.
