I posted the thread link into some hatch-a-longs because many of the regulars seem to have a ton of experience. I tagged someone too but I know she's been super busy latey so may not see the tag.

I've been scanning through the Half-Shell thread since I first posted. There is a lot of information there, but I'm not sure at which point to start. My egglet is not nearly as badly crushed as the one in the first thread, but it's not as far along, either. All of the egg shell is there, just shattered on one end - about a third of the egg, tip & down one side. If it survives until morning, how do you recommend I proceed? Looking at the Half-Shell thread, it looks like I need to take off the little pieces, if I can do it without further bleeding, but I'm really afraid to start pulling at anything. This is SO awful!

@FortCluck - It looks like you were pretty involved with MGG's open shell hatch ... HELP! I need you!!!

JaeG posted a great Idea about using another shell to cap it.
I'd still be inclined to keep as much shell as possible after seeng what happened to my little chick even with coconut oil. Plus, you could accidentally get a vein.
Maybe use saran wrap (or similar) like a bandage to hold it together. Not all over the egg, maybe just half. Would provide support too depending on how the egg is laying/sitting.

... but you're not "old and wrinkly" yet ... so it doesn't count!

Do you have triple antibiotic ointment without pain relief? It’s best to put that on the membrane it keeps it moist longer.

What day is this egg on?

Is it crushed at the air cell?

You’re safe to start peeling at the air cell. You shouldn’t get any bleeding, but if you do grab a qtip and apply pressure, it should stop bleeding in a few minutes.

Sorry I’m just waking up there’s a massive storm coming in.

@MROO can you post pics of the two eggs in question as well so I can see what you’re working with...

But this isn’t the first time researchers have identified a blood type link. Preliminary results from a study of 2,173 coronavirus patients in China found that people with type O blood had a lower risk of contracting COVID-19, while people with type A and type AB faced a higher risk. In April, researchers from Columbia University also published preliminary data that came to similar conclusions: People with type O blood were less likely to test positive for COVID-19 and those with type A blood were 33% more likely to test positive for COVID-19

Of course, I am type A.
