Should I help this chick?

[mraeirish]

This chick pipped last night around 7pm. It’s now 8am the next morning and she’s still not out! Humidity looks good, the membrane is white. No other eggs in the bater have pipped yet. Should I take her out and help remove the shell?

I don’t know to much about chickens and hatchlings I could look it up for you if you would like?

I’ve been looking it up in past threads. Some people say help and some say don’t. Just thought I’d ask because I can’t decide.

You could slowly start pulling apart the shell but be very careful incase the baby hasn't absorbed all the veins yet , the moment you see any blood don't continue just let the baby rest hopefully it will make its way out on its own after a couple more hours... if no blood is seen continue helping the fluffy butt out . Good luck .

How is the baby doing

How is the baby doing

We helped her out but definitely shouldn’t have. She hadn’t absorbed all her yolk yet. We have video of the whole thing and will be posting it to our YouTube channel... somehow she made it through the night and is still alive although not eating and drinking yet. We’re going to name her miracle if she survives. She was the only chick who hatched out of 6 eggs.

Sending positive waves for your little miracle.

And hugs for you.

The channel A Chick Called Albert might help.

I always wait 24 hours after they have externally pipped .Last week I had two out of four chicks externally pip and then no progress although I could hear them distressed so I did assist both of them and they are doing really well.
