HELP!!!! Exposed membrane and blood vessels!HATCHING CHICK WITH MISSING BOTTOM SHELL!

[WolfGirlMagic]

Not sure if you're awake but any updates? I am really pulling for you and your little one!!!

Thank you so much! I just woke up to make sure the vassaline was still glistening and moist.
She is still making the beak chewing motion and yawning.
No peeping, but she did peep a little 4 hours ago when I checked the vassaline again.
Hopefully she is just sleepy like I am

It's definitely hard work... let her rest.... man I am so nervous here and it isn't my duck!!! And I don't even have any ducks!!!

Okay.... Her peeps seem very weak this morning, and I'm seeing no progress in vein or yolk absorbtion.
Could her malposition be keeping her from resorbing properly? Or does it really take that long?
Should I try giving her some sugar water to give her a little more strength?
I also have to go to tsc today
Is there anything there that might help?

I would not try to 'feed' her anything...she may aspirate it and drown.
Yolk absorption should not be impeded by malpositioning.
How many hours since she 'pipped'?
You might think about assisting, if the blood vessels have receded out of the membrane.

Almost 24 hours.
She is in the complete wrong end, so this is probably internal and external all at once.
But I heard peeping 48 hours ago from her, and thought I saw her pip into the air cell(although may have been her feet?but peeping is indicative of a proper internal pip, yet I am not sure she could have turned that much in the egg that fast to become malpositioned.
The veins do not look like they have changed AT ALL in the last 20ish hours. Not receding, and upon candling some are very thick long veining along the inner membrane.

I know it's difficult, but wait! Doesn't really matter how long its been. If blood vessels are still active, then she isn't ready. Trust me, she is much better off inside that shell than out.
Keeping the bill clear is about the best you can do for her right now.

Okay thanks.
I'm just a little panicked because I have college on Monday and if she needs assistance hatching then there is no way I can be there
I have noticed also that some of the thicker blood vessels look brown? Not the vibrant red they were. Is this a good sign?

Does not understand folks candling after day 18...I just leave them alone.

Because humans are inquisitive and impatient @aart

Wow... That was kinda passive aggressive, in a way I feel undeserving. Maybe you shouldn't comment about things you don't understand if you don't have any helpful and non-judgemental advice on an advice forum.
Just so you know I did stop candling on day 18, which I did because I saw an internal pip on one of my eggs.
Then one egg started bruising and such, and after 3 days started smelling. After eggtopsy, I discovered the membrane was way too dry and they may need assistance.
I went into a humid warm bathroom to open incubator and checked the eggs, ALL EGGS except one was dead, and the one left had been damaged by dog bumping the incubator. If I had not intervined this chick WOULD be dead.
I had to candle to help it pip as it was in malposition, and candled one time after only when I wet the membrane. Which I have to do every few hours.to see how things are progressing, so I know when I should be here for hatch.
I know I am being a little rude myself, but I have been up all night talking to the chick through the incubator to encourage her, and making sure her membrane doesn't dry out.
Do you care this much, or are you dedicated this much to your hatches, staying up all night etc.? I apologize if I have jumped to the wrong conclusion, but from your seemingly non empathetic personality, I doubt it.
