Shrunk wrapped

Oh my goodness!! Now I wish I had taken photos; I was so sure he was going to die! But now he is dragging himself all around the incubator. Not quite as vigorous as the others, but movement! Kind of following a healthier/faster chick in there. The poop is detached so I'm really happy it was healthy poop and not a prolapsed intestine or uterus (making our he a she for sure).

When he was stuck in the egg, the membrane had glued his neck in one position, so the neck seems to be the weakest at this point. As he drags himself around the incubator, he kind of uses his beak as a third leg, but he's lifted his head and appears to be getting stronger.

My husband wants to name him Rocky.
 
Neck is behaving normally now, stronger and stronger. Looks like any other chick that just hatched itself now.

Wondering if it's okay to leave him in the incubator overnight? Still damp...
