Sorry for the long wait, its been a very long day and night. He was definitely piping on the wrong end, never piped internally! Thanks to all your suggestions he JUST came out. Will post picture of him as soon as i get home. I regret not taking photos of the candled egg before the external piping. This took hours of peeling and waiting and then peeling some more. Noticed after a few hours he still wouldnt rotate himself which gave me no choice but to assist the entire hatch. Kept the membrane moist the entire time, broke enough of the egg that he still had to get himself out (I wanted him to at least try something himself) took him about 12 hours just b to untangle his head from underneath his right wing and wiggle it out of the egg so he could stretch out. Layed half in the egg until now absorbing the rest of the yolk. He is beautiful and alive.
Thanks for the update, and thank for posting your pictures!
