Help!

[chickiemom08]

I was assisting with a hatching egg and I accidently nicked the membrane. It started bleeding. I have it wrapped in a warm wet rag and it is back in the bator. It is still moving and chirping. What should I do?

just keep checking there is no more blood....i wouldn't intervene for at least 2 hours to let her absorb her blood and yolk...

It's been a little over 2 hours now. Timer on my phone just went off. Still moving. What should I do now?

what day is it?

keep wetting with warm water...not the beak..

It's day 20, but it started hatching late last night.

Still have it wrapped in a wet washcloth. I keep checking on it periodically.

It had made no progress since last night. Now I'm afraid to even do anything.
