EMERGENCYYYY HEEELPP ME PLEASE

[MJessy]

I have one chick that started hatching yesterday.. it's now 26 hours in his egg with great problems
it is a very strong and big chick.. at the beginning everything was fine but then it wasn't able to turn I guess and he just pushed
now it is cracked in the half.. it didn't crack the air cell away but cracked in the middle.. I see the Membrane and the blood veins.. that I Thing are ruptured but still alle the time red
What can I do???? I don't want to loose it!!!!!!!!!
Don't know if he is cracked all through or i there is maybe somewhere a intact place where the veins are..
Does it mean it wouln't be able to absorb his yolk sac??
ooh please what can I do??? Is there anyyy possibility??????
I have sterile water that I take to wet ist Membrane..
OOOOh please quick someone????
it's 26 hours.. don'treally remember since it has the crack...

HEEELLLPPP
can it hatch with the yolk sac not absorbed??? or maybe it's half absorbed? but the blood veins are I don't know

 

[MJessy]

with every breath it takes the Shell goes a bit apart and the blood veins are visible

 

[MJessy]

wait I have made a Foto the crack first appeared at 4 at night

My opinion....

Do what you feel is appropriate. I know many on here will tell you to let fate take it's course, and not to interfere. You can go that route, or you can help by cutting the shell/membrane enough for it to breath. Either way it may not survive if it is premature, so it's your call.

Maybe you know how Long it takes to absorb the yolk? it was 17 hours after the firstzip pip that the big crack occured
maybe he hasâbsorbed hee yolk??

 

[sam786]

no
dont do anything
let the nature play his role
keep your fingers crossed
and just pray

if he need to survive then he need to hatch by himself

There's an assisted hatch link somewhere on BYC. Just do a search for it. @Amiga @Lacrystol @casportpony@AmyLynn2374 some people that helped before and who know who to tag. Good luck.

Here is the assisted hatch link. Looks like the beak, there in the photo (I am not a hatcher, I just have been reading some of the hatching threads), so breathing not a problem?

I have read of ducklings hatching out with the yolk not yet absorbed, and they can be okay. Big concern with helping is nicking or cutting a blood vessel - the hatchlings can bleed to death.

@Lacrystol and @aoxa are hatchers, as well as many, many others here.

If the humidity is too low and the membrane too dry, I have read that can cause its own problems - so I think I recall a damp paper towel being helpful, and now I see that he is perhaps outside the incubator so you could see him better? Where is the little right now? Still in the incubator? What's the temperature and humidity? Too dry at this point is problematic.
