Now what?

I had 3 chicken eggs on day 24. Thinking they were dead I started opening them. 2 were under developed and dead. This silkie is alive. What should I do to help it survive?

You would want to make sure that it doesn't shrink wrap the chick, so try to keep it moist. Maybe you could wet a towel or piece of clothe to make sure the shell isn't drying out. Good luck!!

Moisten the membrane with something like coconut oil to keep it from drying out.
