Help with hatching pheasant

[Farmchickstogo]

Hi everyone, I just signed up because I’m really worried about this little guy and would really like some input.

okay so I have a pheasant egg that pipped about 28-30 hours ago, and it has made little progress and I have helped a little bit by moving away some shell, I’m pretty sure there is something wrong, because it moves a lot and doesn’t really get anywhere and only chirps when it seems to be struggling.
should I leave it alone and see what happens, or just help it all the way out?

Just pull back the top shell so it can push out.

Do you think it’s ready? I don’t won’t to mess it up.

Yes if it was mine I'd pop the top off.

Should I take the membrane off too?

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

Yes

 

[Farmchickstogo]

Yes

I tried just now, and it started bleeding a little bit so I stopped

 

[Farmchickstogo]

Yes

It also looks as if it’s leg is on top of its face. I’m so confused and I just want this little guy to live

He hatched!
I had to do everything for him, but he is already really strong.
I think he pipped before he was ready, because for a while every time I took a piece of it would start bleeding.
All is well now and he is happily resting in his brooder.
