I signed on to this site so perhaps someone can help me do something for my poor chick. I suspect she will die, but can't just sit and watch it without atleast seeing if there is something I can do to help. Last night after over 12 hours of piping in the same hole and no progress my husband helped the chick out of the egg by taking away some shell around the top of the egg. The chick moved and kept piping but eventually my husband had to open the membrane and then the chick pushed out. There was what I think a yolk sac present, I read some posts last night and put the chick back in the incubator with a wet paper towel. This morning the chick is still alive, resting then awake and chirping, but the towel was bloody, I replaced the towel but it is bloody again and their appears to be a coiled mass, which I am suspecting is intestine? I gave her a few drops of water but don't know what else to do.
I don't have the nerve to cull her. Can someone give my some suggestions to make her more comfortable. Should I put her on dry paper towels or wet. Should I give her sugar water. Please help. This is our second batch of eggs, the first batch did not hatch due to the incubator. We have one healthy chick and then this.
