Smashed egg - LIVE chick - NEED HELP ASAP

[TJAnonymous]

I was checking on the progress of my broody this afternoon and discovered several cracked eggs under her. I pulled them out thinking they were dead and discovered that they are NOT. The membranes appear to be intact. The chick in the white egg is moving... I have no idea how far along they are.

Need some advice... I just put them in the incubator which is warming up. I know I should keep the membrane moist... I have coconut oil and Vaseline. Which would be best? I'm very worried about accidentally puncturing the membrane with that jagged eggshell. It will be tough getting a qtip in there

The one in the brown egg could make it. The white one.... He's just bleeding death. I really have no idea what to do.

That's my fear too... That egg looks bloody but nothing is pooling or coming out of the egg. I see the membrane against the chick (who is black) but I don't see any blood in the membrane either. Just the chick moving around

Yeah the white egg doesn’t look good at all, but I agree the brown egg could make it. How far along in incubation are they?

Edit: sorry I didn’t see that you said you didn’t know how far along they are.

Here's another video

ETA - it has to be bleeding internally inside the membrane

Any advice here? Or anyone else I should tag?

I feel so helpless to do anything to help... I haven't put anything on the membrane yet because I want feedback before I do. May be for nothing if he bleeds to death inside the membrane.

It's in God's hands

I wouldn’t use anything petroleum based (Vaseline) organic/natural if anything at all.. I might just let it go it is how nature intended..
