Chick died in pip

[CluckNDoodle]

Is this ok?? Just bloody umbilical cord??
Anything to do here?

The navel isn't fully closed, my recommendation is the same as mentioned earlier. Try to keep the brooder clean to reduce chances of infection. Dab some chlorhexidine or antibiotic ointment without pain reliever onto the navel about once daily and hope for the best.
How is the rest of the hatch going? Did the rest finish hatching?

Does polysporin work? J think that’s all I have.

I have one more hatching as we speak which brings us to 10. Still 14 eggs I need to check and see if there’s any signs of life.

I’m feeling better today. I gave it my best and that’s all I can do!

I have zero experience with polysporin, but upon a quick google search it does appear to be safe for chickens.

Exactly! You did a great! When hatches are difficult like this even a seasoned veteran will feel the pressure! That's why so many of us try to help through difficult hatches, even online because we've been there and we know how hard it can be!

Would you keep this chick in the bator or move to the brooder with food and water?

Also there’s another one with poop stuck to it’s fluff and an egg shell on it too. Just warm water to remove? Thanks

No. It wears off and the other pick it off.

So leave umbilical cord one in bator or brooder?

And egg shell butt I can move to brooder and the others will help take shell off?

Thanks

In the Brooder if it's up and able to walk around. If one is still weak place in a container in the incubator on a bed of paper towels. Nothing by mouth.

You can move it to the brooder. Don't be alarmed if you see the navel heal over like a black button/scab because it didn't close properly.

Can you share a picture of the chick with stuff stuck to it? I usually use warm water and a q-tip, especially if it's pasty butt. Then using a little Vaseline by the bum to keep more from sticking. If it's dried membrane on the chick and it would pull on the chick fuzz to get it off then you can put a little Vaseline on it and come back in a little bit and I find that it comes off much more easily without pulling on the baby.

How do I tell which eggs left are viable? I floated a couple and they floated 90% under water and the pointy end down. I don’t see any movement when candled
