What was supposed to be a simple hatch, where a broody would do the work, has turned into a nightmare... I'll spare you the details, but now, I need help! One of the chicks seemed a little eager to hatch, broke his yolk sac, and somehow pulled his gut. It looks pretty much the exact same as the image from this older thread

What do I do? I have tried gently pushing it back in, but all that seems to do is hurt the little baby.
Please help!
