HELP Chick Not Absorbing Veins and Yolk

[Noah209]

My rule with pipped eggs is that no matter how long it's actually been, if I see unabsorbed veins I don't assist any further than making sure they're breathing. Nature doesn't really care about how long a process is statistically supposed to take, and unabsorbed veins means the chick isn't ready. They all hatch at their own pace. Keep humidity high for sure, you peeled off a lot of shell and the membrane will dry out. The coconut oil helps as well.

It finally absorbed those huge veins but was struggling to kick out of the dry membrane. Ended up making a small slit with some sterile scissors and he was able to kick himself out shortly after. Easily my longest hatch ever but happy it came out healthy!

Great, happy ending!
