Chick bleeding please help fast

[JCaseyHammond]

Keep it humid and warm. Watch it carefully. You want to prevent the membrane from drying out and “shrinkwrapping” the chick. Dab a tiny amount of Neosporin gel on the membrane.

You want to have patience and wait for the chick to finish gathering all the blood into its body from the veins of the egg. Also the chick will struggle a bit then rest. It needs hours to gather the yellow yolk into its body.

I will leave it alone I was just hoping someone had some experience maybe make the waiting time of finding out a little easier.

Here is some reading for you while you wait for the chick. I used this article to understand and decide when to help and when to *not* help my chick hatch. He took 2 days but he’s a fine grown rooster now!

Looks good. You can use a tiny pinch of flour to stop bleeding. Is it bleeding? You can get a piece of paper towel wet and dab it on the membrane to keep the membrane moist and flexible.

It was bleeding but the blood kinda just disappeared and now if you can see there’s like a red circle that looks like blood inside of the membrane but I’m bot sure. I have kept membrane wet

There’s still a small amount of blood in between the shell and membrane should I do anything about that it’s only about 1/3 of what was there

Also I had broke through the air cell per someone who had been hatching for 3 years advice because it was 48 hours after hatch time and it hadn’t pipped but I did not break the membrane because there’s clearly vessels. I’ve been keeping the membrane wet and chick is alive but is this shrink wrapped? Should I be worried? I know now not to do a lot of the things I’ve done with this poor babies but live and learn can’t beat myself up I guess. I might be over worrying with this baby but I just wanna make sure it isn’t shrink wrapped. When the membrane dries it’s white and I haven’t let it stay white because I figure that means it’s drying which isn’t good. Advice is appreciated I feel like such a bad chicken momma. I am reading the article you linked by the way

Also the one that was bleeding is opening and closing mouth but not chirping.

Is the chick breathing easily? I can’t see whether the membrane is blocking the nostrils.

Can you turn the egg so his beak is pointing down. To prevent water from going in his mouth. It’s too soon for him to drink.
Edited to add, you can use a dry piece of paper towel to remove drops of water from his beak.

Is this a Maran egg? It’s a nice dark brown.
