Help! On day 18 and I think I will lose all 9 eggs!!! SMALL AIR SAC

[Kentuckyrain]

Last egg tried to hatch,, lots of yellow liquid came running out of the egg,, the baby has mucus all over it and a fairly large mass attached, but it's trying to hang on to life.

Sounds like possibly yolk not completely absorbed. Place a moist wash cloth in a coffee mug or small bowl. Put chick inside mug and put back in Bator. It may take a day or two to completely absorb but if you leave him be it may be ok. The only other thing I do is if the chick is not repositioning itself I do change the side the chick is laying on to make sure nothing dries and sticks. I had this happen a month ago and chick is doing great. With any luck your little guy will be just fine.

The chick is completely out of the shell laying on the screen with what looks like guts hanging out or something, a lot of yellow liquid has leaked and fallen to the bottom of the incubator so it won't be able to absorb it, it is soaking wet with slime and chirping, should I still do the cup thing? Will the guts looking stuff still be absorbed back into the chick or is it too late? I will go take a few pics and see if I can figure out how to post them.

It's alive and chirping and slightly bouncing around the screen but does not look good,, I don't know what to do to help it???? I don't know what that mass is attached to it,, I do know a lot of yellow liquid has drained to the bottom of the bator. Today is day 20,,, 7 chicks did great and are now in brooder,, 1 egg did not fully develope and this one is struggling to survive right now, I just really don't know what to do to help it, if that is even possible?

 

[Kentuckyrain]

Can anyone tell from the pics what I should do at this point to try and save it?

Place chick in a bowl with a warm mouth cloth. Remove rest of water from the bator so it can dry out. Put chick in bowl back in bator to dry off. It seems that your temps were high to have them hatch so early. Well done on the seven. I would give them some savachick or electrolytes. Keep us posted.

Try and get a pick with the bits that are hanging out too. So we can see what it is.

My cam sucks, but if you were to take a regular size worm and wrap it around a hook, that is what it looks like hanging out, but I will try to get a pic and post soon!!!

Does it look like intestines or could it be umbilical cord?
. Do you see any yolk sac?
