The chick pipped on the small end AND on the bottom of they egg. I hoped since she pipped on her own she could hatch on her on her own but she inhaled some liquid in the egg and couldn't breath. I assisted her hatch and got the junk out of her air sacs. Her navel was bloody and rough but the yolk was absorbed. I used styptic pow and beta dine. She was shivering a lot (even though she was in a 100 degree brooder) but that has calmed down, I am remaining hopeful.

I've assisted chickens and quail but that emus shell was IMPOSSIBLE

I bet.my laying hen was fed oyster shell and you could throw one of her eggs and it WOULD NOT break. most of my breeding hens have pretty hard eggshells. including my silver phoenix hen. her eggshells are rockhard.
