That first one looks great!  He'll be out sometime this evening.  You might have to come back around dinner time and take a little more shell off the bottom.  The ones with blood will need help again tmw morning.  

Goo usually means your humidity is too high.. but there have been some weird hatchings going on.. so it just could be the weirdness thing go around.  

 

You did a great job!

Wow! Your doing a amazing job! Just take it slow like everyone else is saying! I learned my lesson, and helped a bit to much... Didn't turn out very well.I lost every single baby... Including the one that did hatch, and was doing OK.

What breed are yours? Again. Your doing FANTASTIC!

This one is the one that the air cell was in the wrong spot (I think, it is hard to tell on the pictures).

I have no idea what these are going to be. I have 1 pekin male and 1 cayuga male. 2 pekin females and 1 crested swedish! The one the is almost out is one of my swede's eggs.

ok well those look good.

give it a few hours and try to peal back a little more. without tearing off membrane.

you should be able to get off the shell that is covering the air cell, without damaging the air cell.

in the pictures i posted you can see the membrane still over the babies.

 

but so far they look great. and can now breath.

X2 on the comments.  They look GREAT.  I would work on getting a little more shell away tonight after dinner, and then see what the morning brings.  You will probably have to help them more in the morning, but I wouldn't anticipate them hatching until tmw afternoon.  (or being ready to)  Since of the blood you saw.
