Scissor beak chick pipped at wrong end

[Mysmallflock]

I have one chick left to hatch and the problem is she has scissor beak and is Pipped on the wrong end. I have removed the shell so it’s just the membrane after 24 hours but I still don’t wanna open her egg just Incase. I don’t know what to do.

That probably means she didn't absorb the whole yolk. We definitely need pictures- if she hasn't absorbed it properly, that's very likely going to kill her, not least because it often indicates an internal malformation.
Also, a scissor-beak chick, pipped at the wrong end, with an unknown internal issue of some form? If she makes it, don't breed her.

thanks for this i completely forgot about this thread!! she ended up making it! we kept her in the house for so long to monitor her she became a house chicken lol!! she now lives with a friend and is the only chicken in the house

She is also attempting to walk around.

How bad is the scissor beak? If it's really bad, the question might be more about how to euthanize a chick still in an egg.

It’s not horrible very mild case she has escaped her egg but she has a small bit of like a lump in the spot where her yolk sack had been absorbed. She is laying around and sleeping and hasn’t tried walking. Out of all 8 eggs she is the only one with this problem.
