Malpositioned egg! Attachment on its bottom still! :( HELP!

[Katydidd33]

So after 30+ hours of the first Pip. And absolutely no progress. With a little help from me but not much because I wanted to let nature to take it’s toll. My chick is out but still attached to the bottom of the shell with a very thick cord! What should I do!??? Should I let it dry up?
The chick is peeping! Moving around but seems a little exhausted. ( I would be too) please help !

Baby update! I stayed up all night With ! Looks a bit premature but eating and seeking, walking ok and just pooped! I bought sole baby vitamins. Going to keep it in here till the belly button thing falls completely off and heals so it can be with it’s sibling!

Maybe just break most of the shell off so it doesn't have to drag the whole thing around and see how she makes out.

Can you peel the thin membrane away from the bulky shell without hurting the baby? Usually they detach themselves fine but I've also never seen a thick cord attachment.

 

[Katydidd33]

It’s wild looking! The thread thin cord is there as well. I have no idea what it could be.
The thought of deformation crossed my mind as well and hernia...considering it was pipping at the wrong end. Sigh I just don’t know and don’t want it to bleed to death either. Tricky situation. I’ll give another look at the little trooper soon. To see if there’s at least something I could do.

Good idea thank you

You're welcome. Let me know how she makes out

It managed to separate it self by kicking a lot. itself. The chick is trying to get up. But part of that thing is still stuck to its butt. :/

So I suspect it a unfinished egg yolk. I have a tiny bit of food and water and prayers it dries up and it heals ok
