Was he assisted?

He doesn’t look like he was ready to come out. Is he peeping and moving?

Also add here if the yolk is absorbed if it is not that is when a cup is used to keep it attached until it absorbs the yolk.

Can you take pictures of the bulge? Try to limit his movement if possible so he does not puncture his yolk sack with his foot. You can try to put him in a paper cup with a paper towel in the incubator.

what happened in the end? This baby was premature. Very. Please do not assist again without studying how to do it safely.
The yolk needed to be absorbed. Prevented from infection and being stepped on, or pecked at.

In this situation baby needs putting back in the shell, not removing from the shell. Then to be placed in a cup lined with clean dry paper towels, and place this cup in the incubator. Until everything is absorbed.
