    Place him in a deli cup lined with wet paper towel. you don't want him to move around much til the yolk is absorbed.

    His yoke is still in the egg so would I place the egg in there with him?

    if yolk still in egg, very gently try to place him back in the egg.

    Ok I got him back in the egg and sprayed the inside with water to keep it from drying out but I don't think he will stay there he's a determined little thing I just hope he will make it

    place him & the eggs into a smaller container to limit his movements, he should absorb the yolk soon.

    I don't want to be too morbid, but can you post pics.
    What happened with him leaving the egg isn't at all uncommon, and he should have been fine in a deli cup or small storage container.

    Did you cut the eggs, or did he pip on his own?

    I did not take pics and my wife burrows it in the yard and I cut them yesterday and he was acting fine until after I put him back in the egg and I checked on him and he was half way out again and was not moving I left him alone and checked again 15-20 mins later ad he was upside down and stiff his body looked as it was caved in I've never had a problem cutting at day 48-50 and never seen one come out this early I've cut at day 45 and had perfect babies come out on day 58-60 so I dint know why it came out I've never even had babies come out with the yoke still not absorbed or attached
