Help!! I opened incubator without knowing one of the eggs zipped

[NatJ]

I don’t see any movement at all

Sometimes no movement is a problem, but often it just means the chick is taking a nap (because hatching is hard work.)

I don’t see any movement

I wonder if it would be a good idea to open a little shell over the air sac to see what’s going on inside? (More asking this to people more experienced than I)
Do you have something like coconut oil to put on the membrane if you open it? It’s important to keep the membrane moist.
How many hours has it been since you last noticed movement?

How long should i wait to assist?

Can you see the beak?
If you can, ensure the chick is not yawning, or chewing, this would indicate that he is still absorbing the yolk and just resting, then you can begin to remove a little of the shell over the air cell. Only enough to see the chick a little better and determine whether he is okay. Apply a little coconut oil to the membrane to prevent it drying. If you see veins, or blood, stop, use a clean paper towel to the blood gently, if there is a fair amount of bleeding, and then leave him be to finish absorbing. If there is no movement or signs of life, I would remove the rest of the shell over the air cell, the baby should start peeping and or moving when you disturb his rest.
Note that I am not an expert, and have only assisted once, so please do refer to the assisted hatching article, you'll find it's very helpful.

But before doing anything, how long since you noticed the chick pipping/zipping? And are you seeing any movement at all?

he'll likely be perfectly fine!
Is he out yet? This was a recent thread so guessing not.
Can you see through the incubator without opening it? If so, can you see the colour/condition of the mebrane? The only worry here is shrink wrapping, and I find that quite unlikely, though possible since humidity was already low, you did the right thing by opening it to add more water. No need to rush into action yet,
Just keep a close eye on him. In the meantime, definitely have a read of the article that Jada22 linked. It's brilliant and so so helpful. It will tell you when and how to help.

Have you seen any more movement?

sadly i made a mistake i tried to assist and i did it way too soon now its bleeding for sure now its not going to make it. I got got scared and impatient now the chick is suffering. Another egg pipe and its malposition also, they are serama shipped eggs. All 4 might be all malposition due to humidity loss

hold a paper towel against the bleeding, hold with gentle pressure until the bleeding stops

premature assistance often proves fatal but don't give up on him if he's still alive. Try to stop the bleeding. Is he still in half the shell, how much shell did you remove?

Put a paper towel to where it’s bleeding to help stop the bleed

I don’t want to open the incubator again because another egg is in the process of pipping. I just put the egg that is bleeding back in

I made a pretty big hole enough to see its beak
