Hello. We were just hatching our first clutch of Cortinux quail eggs and fifteen of them came out fine. The first day that they hatched, one egg had pipped but over a period of thirty hours there was no progress unzipping it's shell. Unable to leave it like that, we went in and successfully assisted it in escaping from the confines of it's shell, having had allowed it to push it's way out itself. Now, after more than thirty-six hours, it is out of it's egg, but it has an enlarged backside, and what appears to be green poop is left in the shell. Is there anyone that could advise me what to do? I want to give it every possible chance to make it.
