Is this chick shrinkwrapped?

It should be about 24 hours to hatch. After that you can assist.

Oooh it's trying to hatch as we speak

So, 30hrs have passed and I had to assist a little more. Freed the head and neck.
Yolksac seems to be completely absorbed, but man this is one of the hardest hatches I've witnessed. I really hope it's not deformed or anything, can't see everything yet.

It doesn't seem really conscious, eyes are closed it's like mentally it's going through all the stages it should be doing if there weren't any issues. (If you know what I mean like zipping, jerking motions etc)

I hope it's ok!

Any new pictures? I have had to assist many chicks and poults. I would love to help, but I need to see pictures.

Here it is! Still attached to the bottom eggshell, but it seems conscious

It seems weak, but conscious! We’ll have to see how it develops in the future…

How does it look absorption-wise?

Everything is absorbed! No yolk left as far as I can see
