I assisted hatched at chick yesterday, mum had trod on it and the membrane was drying out, I removed all the broken shell and found the chick had internally piped, I moistened the membrane with olive oil and coconut oil. After leaving it in the incubator for a couple hours still no progress made so I started to slowly remove the membrane were the veins had received, it's head was positioned right in the middle of the shell almost under its foot. Once I had cleared the head I put it back in the incubator for a while then proceeded with removing membrane with receded veins. I pulled its head out from under its wing and put it back in the incubator. Not even 5 minutes later and the chick was out.
I had to apply oil to the under side of membrane as it was stuck to the chicks head. I am worried that it's head won't be able to dry properly, What do I do?
