Emergency please help! Chicken pup outside aircell

Thank you everyone! She still hasn't done anything else but I think she's okay like you said we will see! At first glance it looks like she pipped much further from her aircell than actually is the case she sound so cute! I hope I did not mess up her positioning trying to help her! she was chirping when I put her back. Sorry for original typo as well. I was excited with worry! Lol thanks!!!
 
How's your chick doing?
She actually did great! Before any other eggs pipped externally I reached in real quick and grabbed her and taped lightly on the air cell and she started chirping so I put her back and left her alone. It's weird though I think maybe my hygrometer is off because she would have hatched first if her membrane hadn't been so thick and hard to push out of! Or maybe that's because she's a mix and the quality is low? But Her shell was zipped all the way around and she kept pushing and pushing so I had to push a spray bottle through a hole in my incubator and spray her then she finally popped out! I don't know how she pipped outside her aircell and did fine but I'm glad she did! she looks like she might be a cute little olive egger! Thanks!

I have an emergency and I can't make a thread but she won't open eyes eat. She kinda drinks but not much. She has burnt skin it the back and she is bloody help me please.
 
Just let it get rolled over by other chicks! Or she can drown. If she doesn't make out by late day 22, chip away very gently at the shell at hole, tiny pcs at a time. I un zip all the way around sometimes. DO NOT TEAR THE INNER MEMBRANE. It needs to absorb all the fluid within for a strong healthy start. It is possible, we do it, tweeze some of the outer membrane slowly and not a lot.
We have successfully rescued scores of chicks.
This would be your decision to make not mine and not until the end of the 22nd day.
It is risky but assistance hatching takes a little practice.
I see no need to assist on day 19 & 21.
Good fortune to you on whatever you decide!

Sounds like she didn't absorb all the fluid if she is bloody? Chicks don't need to eat the first couple days. Lots of vitamins and electrolytes are a must especially for a premature chick that did not absorb all the nutrients in the shell. Keep her under heat and let her dry, then hydrate her.
 
I have the same thing going on right now. She can't walk or open her eyes very much. Not sure what to do at this point.
