I really need help. I am hatching my first batch of chicks in the bater. They were on day 25 so I candled them and none of them were moving or making noise. I wanted to see what may have went wrong so I chipped a little of the air cell away and the entire cap came off. To my surprise the chick moved inside. She/He is not ready to hatch there are still veins and I see yellow. I think she may be positioned wrong. I cannot tell. I am keeping the membrane moist and watching. It has been 24 hours and she is still moving. I am not sure what if anything I can do at this point. I have left the other 3 eggs alone. This is a brand new bater. All I can figure is maybe the thermostat is off and it slowed the hatch? Please can anyone help. I do mot want to think I accidently murdered this poor baby. I would have
e never done this if I did not think this baby had already died and the entire hatch.
