What to do?

[HeatherKellyB]

With mine, I chipped away the shell along the air cell and then gently brushed coconut oil on the exposed membrane to see if the blood had been completely absorbed. Then place it back in incubator

I'd leave it alone.
It's obviously that you are peeling the shell away. Stop.

See, I'm so glad that you chimed in. I thought the chick did this as a result of having trouble zipping. Thank you!

I can't tell if it was zipping.
It looks like someone is making this hole...someone besides the chick.

I see blood and yellow...yellow looks like unabsorbed sac.
Both mean it's not ready to hatch.

You're right. It does appear that way now that you mention it.

@CaliFarmsAR what is your humidity at and is your hydrometer calibrated?

Yeah. it needs to wait.

Ok, it’s out. I did take a little bit of sell off because it seemed it was preventing his head to be able to be free. Y’all can be mad that I took some shell off, but I did what I felt I had to do. I have done many hatches with helping and have been to late because of waiting. He looks just like my other!!

He’s totally fine! The yellow was not the sac

Wait until he stops yawning, and there's no veining visible. I didn't read the whole thread because I have to go, but don't pick anymore shell off, as Kiki said.

No, I did not do that
