Thanks Dr. Mary,If you can still hear it peeping or pecking or a rapid heartbeat when you put the egg up to your ear, it's alive. If alive, I would very gently remove small pieces of shell with tweezers, leaving the membrane intact if possible. Remove enough that you can see the beak or part of the head. If the membranes are not bloody, you can slowly try to help it out, tiny pieces at a time. If a chick of mine zips around and is pushing and peeping, I open the rest of the egg for them. You won't know if it became shrink wrapped until you can see a good bit inside. If alive, there are some posts on how to rehydrate them safely, but I think most are dead by the time it is apparent. Even if you hear nothing, and it is dead, you may learn something by opening the shell and examining the chick. Good luck!
