My orpington went broody while i was out of town, my chicken baby sitter let her sit on eggs so when we got back into town we were gonna let her hatch them out. She left nest for 2days straight all were dead except one duck egg. I decided to incubate it, it externally pipped 2 days ago and started (it pipped at wrong end to start with) it then proceeded to zip up and down instead of side to side. After 16hrs of it clicking and getting no where i decided to intervene. I have helped chicken and quail eggs before and they made it. I pulled up the egg peices it broke and membrane so it could hopefully come out, it seems to be stuck. It is making a clicking noise and breathing heavy while trying to eat shell so i put it back in incubator, i just brought it back out to moisten membrane as its getting dry and shined a flashlight in shell all blood vessels are gone exept one or two small ones and there is a huge blood red one wrapped around the middle of egg do i pit it back in and continue to wait? It can't get out because of being malpositioned. Helpp
