He had a very difficult time getting out of the shell and after much research and over 24 hours waiting on him to make his way out I decided to intervene. I started last night making a larger hole for him and put him back in the incubator in hopes he would finish the job. He didn't, so i finished the job for him the next morning. There was no blood and yolk was dissolved. It has now been 15 hrs and he still can't move around. His little leg is still trying to fold under him like he was in the egg, he can't hold up his head and he has a large squishy bulge on his left side near the rear. I attched a pic. Can anyone tell me anything about this poor guy and maybe help me know what happened to cause it?

He is still and breathing hard and rapidly. But does peep and moves when he hears me.
