Never put water on it. Water dries it put more.


What day is today?

it's day 18

It doesn't look like it popped at the wrong end to begin with either. It looks like its right in the middle to me...the air cell goes down that far at hatch time.

Might as well finish what you started.



Do you see blood vessels in the membrane?

I will never help a quail out again.
They usually have something wrong with them which is why they don't make it out themselves.

But...I just zoomed in on the picture and see the OP has already taken off the shell.
You either finish and hope its OK or walk away (don't do that again...the peeling of the shell)

for me helping out hatching chick when it's really needed is like doing a c section surgery in a woman..the baby is ready and is fully developed but the mother's organ did not function properly likewise the baby is strong enough to pip a hole and did zip a bit but was in the wrong position and without assisting it could have died inside the egg just like if the baby is not taken out both the mother and the baby's are in danger..i really understands you're point..

I'm glad your chick made it out. I had to assist a couple of chicks who pipped at the wrong end in my most recent hatch. They are adults now and are doing well.
