I have abroody hen sitting on six eggs. Two hatched yesterday on day 21 and a third had pipped externally but has not made much progress at all in 18 hours. It is still peeping, but the membrane was getting pretty dry so I brought it in and wet the membrane with a warm wet cloth. I then tried to break away a bit of the shell around the zip line that the chick had started, but then it bled a little so I stopped and put it back under mom. I'm worried I really hurt it and I'm not sure what to do now! Any advise? This is my first hatch and iv'e been trying to do everything right by following threads on here, but think I may have messed up completely
