Help Help Help@!!!!!! DAY 20 BROKEN EGG!!

I don't remember where I read it, but someone said to wet the membrane with a drop of water, keeping the shell dry, and putting a small piece of tape over the missing shell area. One person used electrical tape, someone else packing tape... something that will stick, but also loosen with the heat and humidity. Though... I think with as far along as this chick is... you probably shouldn't do anything... should be hatching any time now.

Good luck.
 
ok so baby is now peeping very loud! its been exposed but not broken the membrane for 10 hours now... im afraid that it is too dry... it is screaming so i think it would be ready if i helped out this compromised egg already?! what do you thinkkk!!! can i at least open the membrane up at the top so it can breathe!!!???? what to do!!!
 
baby still wasnt out! so i helped it along! and it wasnt ready theres still some yolk not totally absorbed.... i feel horrible. its under a heat lamp swallowing and breathing (normal) hopefully a good sign! ugh im awful.
 
You're doing fine. It sounds like it wasn't going to get out on it's own, so you've given it a fighting chance, instead of leaving it to die in the shell.

If it's up and moving, and not bleeding, I'd just let it be. The yolk will probably absorb.
 
alright! its not bleeding... hes drying under a heat lamp. he peeps loud when i touch him and is breathing good. but just laying on his side not kicking or moving or anything... could he just be resting?
