Quick facts about this egg
•pipped yesterday probably around noon
•has not been peeping much
•is malpositioned and pipping at the small end
•has been sticking her beak out and panting with her tongue flapping and neck bobbing, totally different from the other chick. Rarely peeping.
At around noon today I removed a piece of the shell and replaced her in the inc. Another egg also pipped around that time, then another. Still no zipping in the first chick. So I tore small hole in membrane around 3. No movement, removed piece of shell around 6. Just now I sliced through additional membrane because it all looked dry, and she bled. It resolved as soon as she was replaced in the dehydrator but it looks like there is still a lot of blood inside. She is not in a position to hatch on her own at all and will have to be assisted, but should I be concerned about the amount of blood that still appears to be inside 30+ hours after pip? The egg that pipped around noon appears to be unzipping as we speak. Keep in mind I have no way of knowing how old these eggs were when they went in, so is it day 19 for them? Day 21? 24? Impossible to know. Normally I wouldnt consider assisted hatching but I am afraid to wait too long and have exhaustion deaths on my conscience, but now it looks like I'm hurting them either way :/ I'm flying very blind so any help rocks. Thanks guys
