Thank you all for the replies by the way I really appreciate the advice and help you are all giving me.

Oh yeah I know what to look for in regards of absorption etc. So I'm fine with that - I was regarding the whole paper towel & keeping the egg moist comments. I was using a piece of wet kitchen roll before but now I took that off and just put coconut oil over the membrane, but everyone's saying different things so I got confused on what to do lol!

She's still got a few small red veins on her membrane but the membrane is really drying out in places, going dark brown. :/ But her beak is out in the open.
Chewing motions and yawning, still absorbing. Just got to wait and hope she survives!

Your doing everything correctly. Removing the wet paper was correct too. Just wait because once it wants out it will wiggle trying to get out. Maybe then you will need to assist..

Ok I have just checked on her and she seems to have gotten her wing out and is wiggling to get out but there's still blood! What do i do?!

Let it hatch or slowly remove the membrane. Your call..

She's out and alive!
Very very weak though - I will update you all on if she survives or not x

Thank you all again for the help x

Great!
Did she get out on her own?
How's her belly look...all closed up?

She got herself out but I assisted her out as the membrane and bottom half of the shell was stuck to her and she couldn't kick it off, and her head was stuck to the side of the shell.
Belly is all closed up, she's just very weak.

She's managed to wiggle her way around the entire incubator hahaha.

Also her feet look a bit curled, keeping an eye on that.

Give her time....
Got some Poultry Nutri Drench, or other poultry vitamins, on hand in case she doesn't perk up in a day or so?

Haven't got anything like that, no.
Only got multi-vitamins for adults that you put into their water.
