Help my chick is almost dry and not out of the shell

[Relynn]

Update: she is doing very well!

She is a blue partridge Brahma

Is the chick still breathing and chirping and is now partially out of the shell but the shell is stuck to her? I am assuming that she has completely absorbed the yolk and blood supply as the membrane is now dry, correct? If so, I think you can moisten the membrane where it is stuck to her with warm water and gently, very gently pull it away from her. You can also use coconut oil or vegetable on the membrane to moisturize it.

Thank you for the help!

Thank you for the help!

So relieved that it was a success. May she bring you lots of happiness, eggs and even a grandchick or two should you desire them!

Aw, what a sweet little chick! Such a happy ending to this thread! Good luck to you!

@Relynn please post pics of your chicks when they are all dried off and happy little fluffies. Especially the brahma, I love those chickens.
