External pips on three now, no zipping yet for any of those. One of them has part of its shell getting this gray brown color - is that bad or no big deal?

The one that still hasn't pipped through is the one that was internally pipped the longest before I did the safety holes. It is still alive, looks like it's just in there brrathing but not much else though I only took a quick look. There's a part of the inside of the shell newr his beak that looks yellow-ish... does that mean he's sticky? Do I need to start helping him?

I am guessing the others are fine for now that have pipped and I just need to see if that first one that pipped yesterday afternoon starts zipping by this afternoon?

Oh and a couple are getting yellow spots on the outside, is that normal or does it mean they are sticky and the goo is getting out through the pores of the shell?
