Chick started hatching then blood came out, everywhere, HELP PLEASE!!!

[TbChiCken]

Hello,
We had a chick start to pip today, but blood came everywhere out of the pip hole. I got nervous because the chick would drown in the blood. So I pulled the chick out of the egg so it would not drown. Sadly the yolk sac was not absorbed.Is this chick doomed? Please help!!

As far as I know, yes. This is why it's best not to help them so that they have the time to absorb the yolk sac. Sorry that this happened.

Gently examine the chick a sharp piece of eggshell could of cut the chick somewhere examine for woulds or broken blood vessels. If you find a would dip a cotton swab in warm water and apply super light pressure to the would carefully. But it's said ( like above ) it's best not to help but if emergency it might be okay.

What day of incubation is it? The chick looks a bit small.... Im no expert but I heard you can wrap the yolk in a wet paper towel and put the chick in a small cup? good luck!

The yolk sack looks really green. It might have a yolk sack infection (which is also usually fatal). It will probably not make it unfortunately with that much blood loss. Where did it externally pip? I'm guessing it pipped through a vein and bled out. Usually if they pip through a vein they're malpositioned. I had one pip a vein and live, but it was a tiny vein and not much blood. Yours must have hit a big vein. I'm sorry. Hopefully she can pull through. Just leave her and don't let any chicks peck her. If she starts moving around out her in a tall dish lined with paper towels. Keep humidity high so her yolk doesn't dry out. Like 70-75%. It's going to take a while to absorb. Good luck. Fingers crossed she makes it.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. It wasn't your fault. There was nothing you could have done. Rest in peace, little chick.
I'm sorry @TbChiCken
