I messed up this batch

Take it out and use a flashlight. Phone lights are usually bright enough, to see if you can find where the aircell is. When youre thinking its time to touch it again. Just to make sure, cause if it pipped directly to the shell it'll take a long time to be ready, and all the major blood vessels are at the end without the aircell.

It did pip right through the shell, the air cell starts right at where the bottom where my palm is.

It's all good I hope you rested well! Thank you so much! I've been waiting for the go ahead and for 24 hrs to hit. It's still moving and whatnot so starting the saving process shortly!

I've removed more of the shell on its back so it can push out easier. Luckily, it's feathers weren't stuck to that made my life MUCH easier. It's just gotta work those little legs to push out!

She looks like she should be able to work her way out now
How’s the chick with the exposed navel doing?

Unfortunately, her little yolk sack was stuck to the bottom of the shell. I gave her a couple hours and she was trying to get out, but unsuccessful with it. She's out now but she's definitely got a larger bump than the other one. So she's on damp cloth in the incubator to try and help. I didn't pull any of it off, just disconnected from the membrane. Little buddy with the exposed naval is great! Sleepier than my other from before, but alive and chirping. Sleeping in the feed container lol.

Better to not get the chick wet, let it fluff up and dry off. The other chicks will pick at the exposed yolk if it's still wet. Also more likely to get an infection wet.

Once it's dry it'll harden and eventually fall off.

Sadly, none of the other eggs have even pipped so she's in there alone to try and get her to dry off bc she was cold and I had to wet the stuck area a good bit. This one and the first one will be in the brooder together until the phase out to the big coop. I did take her off the damp cloths and put her next to them in the incubator so she could dry off but have moisture so whatever the bump is doesn't stick to anything. I also upped the temp to closer to 101⁰. She's chirping and kind of moving. She hasn't stood up (I don't blame her, that was a tough 30 hrs for her). I'm just hoping that she'll be ok in here for the next 24 hrs so this stuff can fall off and I can put her in the brooder box. Where it's just warm and she can get nutri drench and try to eat. My last one that was stuck in the shell for too long wasn't able to eat and passed two days later so she's being watched like a HAWK. Thank you so much for your help, I am so grateful for it. I'm so new to this and don't really know what to look for. The amoxicillin that was withdrawing from chickens that passed causes hatching issues and my normal 100% hatch rate turned into 35%
