I dont know if you can see anything but here is an image

Can't tell much, but yes, if the membrane is still holding it in, and you don't have any blood vessels on top of his head, peel the membrane back. Carefully!

Is the yolk at the small end of egg?

Is the yolk at the small end of egg?

Hopefully its inside its body by now, but if not, it should be down toward the small end.

I cant do it, the membrane is as hard as a rock and I think there might still be veiniing! I dont know what to do. Does anyone have skype and maybe could walk me through what to do?

Can you moisten the membrane? Is it stuck to the chick?

Rip off the bandaid. Seriously, this has gone on too long. Either he's going to make it or he's not. The membrane is stuck to the fluff like glue in your hair. If wetting it doesn't help, you're going to have to pull

Cole do you have iodine on hand take it out put it on the cord if it bleeds don't worry about the membrane stuck to the chick it will grow off when feathers come break or cut around it
