Help Breech Preemie in shell!!!

[seminolewind]

One of my chicks has pipped the wrong end. So I tried to pick some shell away and it started to bleed. So I put her back in the bator at 70% with a wet papertowel over the egg except where I can see her little beak.

What do I do? I can see her breathing.

Can any one suggest something?
Or just send a hug?

I wait a few hours sometimes till morning...when you see the veins in the membrane dry out I would then re-wet it and cut her out...I've done this count less time (when I have chicks that have problems) and never lost a chick...you just have to be very careful...And only cut her out halfway...she need to be the one to push out the last bit because it can cause issues if she comes out too early....So just around the head and shoulders...if she is one the wrong side of the egg just be very careful not to mess with the cored and such...

Oh I would also take the paper towel off and make sure the her airway is clear

Anti-biotic ointment. Keeps the membrane moist and also makes it translucent. Nothing with pain killer in it. I've used that several times. I got that from Sally sunshines guide.

And a hug.

Baby was all born by herself this morning. I'm so glad she did it more or less on her own.

I'm so glad for you and her!! I was wondering how she was doing.
