Chick pipped but yolk leaking out

[Alisa Henley]

Hi, we had a chick pip and I noticed the egg was laying in yolk. The chick is still alive but should I expect it to die? Is there anything I can do?

No broody, they are in the incubator.

There's wood chips in your incubator???

Following! I'm pulling for this little one!

I guess theres some blood too.

Is it possible it pipped through its own yolk sac? I've never seen it happen but there's a first for everything.

Hm. It's under a broody I'm assuming? Could she have eaten or broken an egg and it just leaked onto this one?

I agree, pics please. It's kinda hard to picture.

I cleaned the egg off since it was caked on around where the chick pipped. The pip was facing down as well so I moved it so the chick could have better air flow. We are on day 20 of incubation.
