Hey there my hen decided after hatching 6 of her eggs that she's going to be crazy now. Something went wrong with the other chick due today and it's yolk didn't absorb right and momma hen neglected it as well and it passed. She's breaking open the shells for the babies though before they are ready I think. When I left for work both eggs were only pipped... the one that did pass was a little more irregular and I thought the pip was quite large. And 8 hours later when I got off work I came home to this. This one is almost out but still attached by its navel on what I'm assuming is a little left of the yolk/receding veins.
I do have pictures they are a little graphic so here's your warning. How do I help? I've been able to keep the chick stable already for about 6 hours now and I did take it from my hen. I don't want her to try and help it and end up hurting it more. It is peeping and kicking and trying its best to get out but I don't want it to rip itself out and cause bleeding or major issues. Right now I have it propped up so it's butt it sitting in its shell and it can't move much. There has only been very very little blood so far as well mostly when It tried to free itself from its shell.
