Ok here it is,
I had 14 eggs that did not hatch ( some older than others) so I thought I messed up cause I decided on rolling them all instead of turning them one by one when incubating. I didnt know what to do since it was to late so I put them out with a broody hen ( not the best mom) and she kinda sat on them. It is a week ago since I put them in there and no hatchlings so I decided to throw them out. Most of the chicks were dead. When I opened one It was still alive, but not ready. He began to absorb the yolk but its still visable. I put her in the incubator set at 100 on a damp towel. I'm not sure of what to do next since this has never happend before. He's still alive after 2 hours of laying still. He is responsive but not active and still partially in the egg and laying on the ground wet.
Any ideas of what I can do?
