Hello! I am hatching my first set of eggs. We have 5 healthy babies. However the 6th one that hatched yesterday is bloody and has what looks to be something coming out of its stomach. It’s been hatched for 6ish hours now and it’s not opening its eyes. It’s just breathing and flops around every once in a while. I can hear is breaths too. When it hatched, it was dripping blood all over the incubator. I was wondering if I should just humanely euthanize it or if I should let it be.. I really don’t think it’s going live. But I could be wrong as this is my first time doing this. But I feel in my gut, that something isn’t right with it 😢
