I have a issue, an egg pipped late Friday, I still had a turkey that was working on getting out so I left the chicken eggs alone. I removed the last Turkey yesterday so they wouldn't "crush" the others, I had a Phoenix and a Cochin hatch and they apparently pecked at the hole onthis egg making it large overnight.
The chick is peeping occassionally and breathing but not really moving. I do not see any bleeding, the typical dried blood look on the inside of the shell.
My hunidity is staying about 55% but the membrane is sticking badly to the chick, I do have a warm wet papertowel around it,
I am thinking it is still absorbing as it looks very wet and yellowy around the lower part of the chick.
I am wondering if I should try to help a bit? Another is pipped and I don't want that one to hatch and start pecking this one.
