egg has started zipping but hasnt made progress in hours

[izzyschickiess]

not sure if i should take her out and clean her up a bit?

also i think it is like stick chick but all the fluid was yellow and is acting like yolk rather than albumen

i took out the egg and softened the yolk and membrane then made a paper towel stabilizer so that wont hatch too soon from having such a large hole since she was pushing a bit too much, ill check back in when i wake up its 3 am and i am tired

Sleep well. Don’t worry. What ever happens will happen.

oh my god

she is ALIVE!
and seems to have moved but might have just been knocked by a sibling

Yay! Did you sleep well?

Is she doing yawning motions? Is she struggling?

shes peeping and is not yawning/ gasping anymore but did swallow a bit more yolk liquid

the yolk had hardened really stiff on her feathers so i sat there trying for a while just to free her from the membrane (achieved)
there arent any blood vessels left in the egg but i think that ther is a little bit of good yolk left so ill leave her be for a while
she had her whole foot in what seems to have been the yolk sac.
i sure do hope she hatches

At this point, she won’t hatch herself. I would go ahead and help her all the way out.

How is she?

she slid right out, but had a bit of yolk out of her belly so i vasalined it so it wouldnt stick and put her in a plastic tub filled with tissues under the heat lamp in the brooder
