**EMERGENCY** I accidently removed the wrong part of the shell

[FSantana]

I accidently removed the wrong part of the shell while assisting a chick who was strgling. I then removed the right part of the shell but it looks like he is pushing to nothing. What do I do?

If its been a day or so, he still hasn't hatched, and you don't see any blood veins you could try to help him out completly.

When was trying to help him a tiny bit of blood popped out (that is why you can see a bit of blood in the bottom) do you think that is an issue?

 

[Bertram]

I don't think so. Not unless it's still bleeding. Painting the membrane with coconut oil will help it from drying out. It looks like your chick has shrink wrapped. How long has he been in the shell and is he still trying to get out or is he just sitting there?
