Quail Chick Died after Pipping

[HRoseY]

Hi, I assisted my quail chick after it had been pipped for over 24 hours maybe more. Unfortunately the chick had died. I'm confused though if it had an unabsorbed yolk or if his intestines are on the outside. Help is appreciated. 10 chicks have successfully hatched and have 11 more eggs but there hasn't been any progress in 36 hours but the other ones did hatch at 16 days so praying more hatch.

It does look like its intestines are on the outside. Unsure why that would happen, nor why it would pip if it was that far out yet from being ready.

Do you have a secondary thermometer/hygrometer to check your incubator temperature? It's not unusual to have a couple early birds, but when you have 10 of them hatching two days early, I'd suspect your incubator was running a bit warmer than 99.5.
