15+ hr pip

I'd not use the vet wrap for too long, if at all, it needs air to heal and dry up.
It also might inhibit it's ability to move...and breathe.
Can you get a good clear pic of the belly?
Is it eating and drinking?
What kind of mash did you give it?
I'd get some Sav-A-Chick electrolytes/vitamins ....or Nutri Drench would be best.

I only had my starter/grower on hand, so I wet it down and ground it. It began to eat immediately and was drinking soon after. I had to leave for the day, but I'll attempt pictures this afternoon. I wrapped it in a diaper sort of fashion, so a strip between the legs with two strips on the side to hold it together in hopes that it would be able to move and get it's feet under it(although I'm prepared to do physical therapy with it if I have to). It's only tight enough that the navel can't possibly scrape on anything and I plan on taking it off this afternoon when I can closely monitor it(I would say that I'm changing it often like a diaper in case it messes it, but there's barely anything for the poor bird to pass).
I also put a bit of food out for the other chick since today is its third day, but I don't dare take it out of the incubator and put it alone in the brooder.
 
Well... The edge of the yolk dried and it fell off in the night. I vet wrapped the navel at that point and this morning it had clotted(sort of scabbed over) and I wrapped it again just in case. it has woken up and tried getting on it's feet many times now. I have it in a Tupperware container in the incubator and I gave it a bottle cap of mash this morning. I plan on getting knock off Pedialyte to help with the loss of the yolk... I don't know how well this will go, but I'm trying and it seems to be trying. Any suggestions are very, very welcome.
I highly recommend Nutri-Drench.

Would this work?

That it's eating and drinking is great...might not need vitamins,
but Sav-A-Chick and Nutri drench are very good things to have on hand.
That booster stuff is probably OK tho if you already have it.

Hopefully the bandage isn't covering it's pooper....
.... I'd leave it off unless abdomen is really open.

How many chicks and eggs do you have in the bator..and in the brooder?
 
2 chicks in the incubator, 4 eggs, one with an internal pip, and 0 in the brooder.
I think the chick would do better out of the bator.
It staying at 100 degrees is probably a little too hot.
 
Well, we just lost the fight... But I'm honestly surprised it lasted nearly as long as it did. And that internal pip is now an external pip.
