I had an egg in the incubator that had a saddle shaped air cell. I didnt really think the egg was developing because its a dark green egg and i couldnt see in when I tried to candle it. Well yesterday during lockdown it pipped. I kept a close watch on it and noticed after it first piped it didnt do much else. Today I helped it by slowly chipping away just the egg in a circle but left the membrane. I watched it for a while and it still seemed to really struggle and couldnt get through just the membrane. I broke the membrane and the chick got out. Well the chick was positioned all wrong. I dont really know how to explain. Its head was not at either end, but in the middle, it was like it was wrapped up side to side instead of up and down. Not sure if that makes sense to you. It was weird, well now that he is out he doesnt seem to be able to stand or walk. He just lays on his side and twitches! What should i do? It seems obvious he is dying. Should i just let nature takes its course or should i help it along its way so it doesnt suffer anymore? Or should I hold out hope he will be okay?
