I would start assisting. Do you know what to do?

If not:
Don’t freak out, since he’s still alive and pushing his way out, he is still strong. Start peeling egg shell ONLY in a zipping line, making it natural. Don’t do too much, just about two thirds of the way around.

Take a look at the membrane. Does it appear stuck to the chick? Can you see blood?

Rub some coconut oil on the membrane if you have any to check for veins, but I don’t think there will be any. If you don’t have coconut oil, follow this:

Peel back some of the membrane. Little by little. If there is no blood, keep going until you get to where there is shell. If you see blood, stop and leave him in the incubator for a couple more hours, then try again.

If you have questions don’t be afraid to ask.

It might be too late in the morning, I’d do it now if you can. What time is it for you?

okay so i got her out of the bator and cracked the shell off in a zip for her and softened the hardened membrane.
i put her back in to finish the job herself just as another baby hatched all by themself!.

humidity stayed up the whole time and i was quick in and out so i doubt there will be many consequences!

shes working her way out as i type! thank you for motivating me i was hesitant even though i had done this before hahaha

is it normal for a chick to still have a little bit of yolk peeking out?

also it looks like the membrane dried out already again??

i ended up helping her pop out fully

why is it that chicks just roll around everywhere and inevitably end up upside down everytime??
