Immediate crisis, abandoned egg, please help

[Dona Worry]

Ok I see here that it has not fully absorbed the yolk and closed up yet.
The less you mess with her the better. Leave her be for now and give this time to heal.

Yeah, I don't dare pick her up, so I can't get a good picture of her butt but here she is.

The good news: Cookie lives!
The less good news: Cookie has severely splayed legs and has not fully detached from the egg yet.
What to do now??

is it really humid? once shes out she doesn't need humidity, that umilical cord needs to dry up on it's own, what ever you do do not cut it. Keep up the treatment for splayed leg changing it daily until she's got her feet under her even if it takes a couple of weeks so the legs form properly

There is probably a thin string attaching the shell to her. You might need to cut that off.
Her dragging that shell around is going to be trouble.

It's humid in general today. 81% humidity outside.

not sure maybe a dab of alcohol on the egg side of the umbilical cord would help it dry up just what ever you do do not cut it unless you have cornstarch or stypix in case it bleeds

Yeah, I think if she could move around easier she would get rid of it herself, but it's a catch 22--I don't dare put splints on until we are rid of the shell, but without splints she isn't going to wall on her own!

Make sure you do not pull anything while cutting it though.

Don't worry about the legs right now You just need to get the shell off.

 

[Kiki]

The legs can still correct themselves without you having to splint anything.

Carefully pick her and the shell up, don't let shell dangle.

You just need to get the shell off.

Yes, need to get it off!
