Big egg problem!!!!!

[Kiraeh]

Have any other chicks in the hatch finished hatching completely? It almost certainly still needs more time at this point.

I'd wait. Don't be too hasty to help.

The chick hatched!!!!!!!!! He is a Ayam Cemani mix . I was was able to remove the tape without any bleeding or anything and the chick hatched a few hours later but its belly is kinda big and he has an open naval and one of his feet dosen't look normal(kinda bent fingers) . What do you guys think? What should i do?

Glad it is out.
I would straighten the toes before they set that way. You can use medical tape to make a bit of a shoe. Put the foot flat on a piece of tape with the toes in the right position and then another piece of tape over the top. You can trim to the shape of the foot.

Yeah i think i will try making a foot out of bandage or medical tape. But i don't understand why the middle of its feet is hard and kinda swollen?

It can be from pushing trying to get free of the egg. When chicks don't quickly pop out, I get a lot of foot problems, mostly curved toes.
