membrane dry (been 24+ hours)

[lexi234]

i helped chick remove shell because it had been 28 hours with a little pip.. but now i’m scared I messed up more. I didn’t remove this white layer because it was already too dry.. is my chick in there doomed? how can I help if at all? i put it under a warm, damp cloth for a few moments.. then set it back in the incubator. anything else i can do?

*i’m not claiming this was right, but i panicked. i’ve helped before, but not this bad*

we have 2 successfully hatched and waiting on a few more, but i feel terrible for this little struggling one!

UPDATE: I have placed it on the wet rag in the incubator… i don’t know what i’m doing really at this point, but i’m trying. i’m hoping that will increase humidity and keep the membrane damp? now i wait?
