Shrinkwrapped pipped at wrong end egg

What do I do?

Same thing happened to me with my last hatch. I gently helped the little bugger out of her shell. She bounced around in a little ball shape trying to uncurl. I gave her drops of diluted vitamins, electrolytes and sugar water. Just allow the drip to catch the side of her beak and they will gobble it up. She stayed in the incubator until morning and she was fine. 15 weeks old now. A big beautiful EE pullet.

Sending positive vibes to your little Sticky Chick.

I know it's a no-no to help, but I upped the humidity, and have begun helping it... I need a midwife!!!

Use tweezers and go a mm at a time. you see any blood stop, put them back in on a damp paper towel and come back in an hour. the ONLY time I assist is if humidity causes shrink wrapping, I live in the desert and keeping humidity high for hatching requires uber viligiance. sometimes they make it, sometimes not, but there's no genetic reason for shrink wrapping just poor humidity control.

A button? good gosh, i've done cortunix assists, but a button will be tricky. remember slowly and stop the first second you see red.

Humidity is fine in the bator I just took it out of the bator and it happened >< So it is indeed my fault. The face is not shrinkwrapped.

Tell me about it! These eggs are tiny, I stopped when I saw blood awhile ago, and put it back. Humidity is 57% at least. Cant wrap in a paper towel too tiny lol.
