If the intestines were out, no you couldn't have helped her. I've had chicks hatch that didn't fully absorb their yolk-sac, in which case I place them w/ shell inside a little cup to finish it up. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, depends if something else is wrong or another organ is out.
I figured that but it was gnawing at me the thought that maybe there was something I could have done different to help it. All I ended up doing was taking her out of the incubator and setting her outside because she was taking too long to pass in the incubator. I couldnt bare to take her life but I also couldnt bare for her to suffer death of slowly being turned inside out. I decided in that moment that dying of being cold was more humane.
