Hi! I’m new to hatching eggs and need some advice! I’ve never done this before, So everyday we write the dates on the eggs left them in the coop ( I do not have an incubator). I have olive eggs so they are dark and I could not see if they are fertile. Today the egg was marked 7-22 so it was past a week I read to toss it out so I was just curious. I cracked it open and it was a baby chick and breathing I panicked and hurried and put it under a light but unfortunately 3 hours the baby chick didn’t make it(it was also a little bloody. Ugh I’m so sad. I have one that is marked 7-23 should I assist it? I seen some people do a small tiny hole on top or just leave it?thank you
