It was day 22 and I had to assist a chick and this is what he was born with! He didn't make it but not sure what happened. Has anyone ever had this happen before?

Unless the chick has zipped though a portion of the eggshell, it's best to not help. I have found that eggs that are just pipped and nothing else happens usually have something wrong and it's best to leave them alone. Now those that have started zipping the shell and then stop and don't progress anymore, I do help, after waiting a few hours to see if they start up again. Those chicks are usually "stuck" to the shell for some reason and can't finish. Also, I agree, that is an unabsorbed yolk that is discolored for some reason. Could indeed have been infected.live chicks from now on.
