Shell cracked but not membrane??

[GalaxyChicken]

Had a similar experience, moistened the membrane with clean oil and try to get the humidity back up .
Monitor it for veining.
I used this guide.

How'd your chick turn out? And what kind of oil did you use

I used clean vegetable oil but anything except machines oil is fine.
Mine hatched fine but was the only one to live out of that batch.

I'm heading to bed, I've got the chick in the incubator with a damp towel, and my sister is going to check on it every couple of hours to make sure the humidity stays up, I'll update yall in the morning

The damp cloth will chill it, so I would remove it.

I've had a broody hen on four eggs for 20 days, and 3 hatched, but when I moved her out of her nesting box into her brooder with her babies, I saw her fourth egg in the very back of the nesting box, alot of the shell looks like it was peeled off/fell off?? It was cold to the touch and at first I thought it was dead, but I could feel the chick squirming through the membrane, and it yelled at me, lol. I put it in a incubator wrapped in a warm damp cloth. But where do I go from there?? How do I help it? Do I help it? I've hatched HUNDREDS maybe even a thousand eggs out of the incubator (first time letting a broody hen do it) and I've never had something like this. How in the world could this of happened? I have pictures but I'm not sure how to upload them

I've had one like this a few years ago, but in a little worse shape, as it was left behind by the hen when she left the nest with her other chicks. When I found it, it was ice cold.

I did nothing more than put it in the incubator with the humidity up to 70%. It took nearly 3 days, but it finally made it out of there. The cold must've set it back a bit.

His mom rejected him, and it was winter, so we raised him in the house.

He broke through the membrane with his beak, and it looks like he is trying to hatch, but why is the membrane so yellow?

I did remove it after your comment by the way

She's been chirping and moving around, and I put vegetable oil on the membrane to hopefully prevent shrink wrapping, but how do I tell if it shrink wraps?

They almost always are that way from the sticky stuff that's on the chicks. Probably a bit of yolk.
