No problem! Keep us informed please and gl!!I really appreciate your help!
Does it matter if the membrane is broken anywhere because I can’t see where head or beak is currently.You're on Day 25 if I am doing my math right.
Assuming that picture in the egg is your actual chick, and assuming you are on day 25- it is time to intervene because that chick is as developed as it is going to get and it is now trapped and without an air pocket. So you're going to have to open that membrane and get it some air. It is likely to be hard to get through because even with good humidity that will have dried up and tightened around the chick.
The most important thing at this point- you have to go into this with the full understanding you are trying to help- but that it is highly likely the chick won't make it. Do your best, hope for the best, but understand the likely outcome.
GOOD LUCK! Keep us informed!

I'm very sorry for you loss .I don’t think that went too well... I am heartbroken. It turns out his bottom was located at air cell end of egg and when outer membrane tore it started bleeding, must’ve been stuck to inner membrane. I stopped it with cloth, then I slowly chipped away at shell until I found his beak and sure enough he/she had already pipped inner membrane on narrow end. I applied corn starch to bleeding which turns out was connected to the tiniest amount of yolk still out. I tried CPR but I don’t see breathing but still have a heartbeat. I tried my hardest. I don’t know what else to do. I put chick in a shallow cup in upright position back in the incubator.
