12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[BullChick]

Help needed.
So my single pipper ( also have a quail fully hatched and fine so far) he was making zero progress for well over 24 hours. I noticed he seemed to be unusually placed in the egg by his mouth placement. The humidity went super low overnight and this morning I brought it back up but everything is stuck to this chick. They are peeping, show strong legs, but the left wig is stuck across the eye and neck. They can't stand properly because of balance and head being pulled down that way.
I've tried every few hours today to take warm water and work it in to losen the wing from the face and neck but it seems unmoving.
I've tried water and even a little dawn soap with the water. What might work better?

Drying off in between washing.

Do you mean like trying to towel the area when dry? The chick is only taken out for about 5 minutes for the washing every 2-4 hours then put back in the incubator to dry and keep warm.

The chick can’t dry in the incubator with the humidity raised. Let it completely dry so the shell can start crumbling off.

Well here's a few photos of the first 3 hatchlings...the other photos won't load. The rest of the photos were supposed to be of a better view of my brooder setup, a photo of my newest hatchling, and a photo of 1 out of 8 or so other pips

Their names, from back to front from the very last photo, are Puddles, Moby Duck, and Waddles

The newest hatchling looks like a Cayuga/ Pekin X, but when he first hatched I could have sworn he was a purebreed Cayuga, so I'm calling him Fool's Gold. Also because he hatched out on the week of April Fool's

I originally stayed out of this HAL and in the other one because I missed the setting day by one or two days. Well I decided early in the process to run .1c+ and see what would happen. Here we are with 6 pipped the night before Easter.
