Does the membrane/shell come off well or is it stuck when you gently pull it off?
Is there any blood?

Baby is out. Won't uncurl herself, though. Usually not a good sign, is it?

It was stuck to the down on her back and neck.

If it’s the membrane stuck to it, try using a q-tip dipped in coconut oil To moisten the stuck areas and see if you are able to gently peel it off of its back. Just go slow and try not to pull off it’s fluff. And it might take quite a few hours for it to be able to walk around if it was stuck in the shell for some time. It’s cute!

Poor thing's been through a lot. Most of mine seem to take a long rest after finally getting out of the shell.
Have the rest of the babies hatched? Any idea how long it was like that?

Yay! Lovely chick! She/he will likely uncurl herself soon, she/he is likely very tired from hatching.
