Thought the chick was breech and opened the shell and it was not. Now it is wrapped in moist paper towel and breathing but appears stuck. Bled a little. Left alone overnight. I removed a bit more shell. Humidity is at 65%. What else do I do? The temp is 99 5. The 21 day was last night at 9pm.

We had the same a couple of days ago. We made a 'full zip' bij removing all the shell in the zip's path and then also helped with tearing some membrame. She then broke free. Chick lives but is a bit weak; but she was 'hatching' for 36 hours- so something had to happen

Thank you all! We kept the egg wrapped lightly in wet paper towels inside the incubator. Helped it get the membrane off without anymore bleeding and it's now resting. It has not fully absorbed the intact yolk sac. It is laying in egg position still. Weak but kicking and moving. Will the yolk get absorbed outside of the shell?
