These last ones aren't coming out too good. One just hatched and I believe it absorbed the yolk - there is a tiny bit of blood on the bottom, but all the slimey stuff on his head. He is moving around quite a bit, but how do I get that off of him. Do I wait until he dries. It is covering part of his head and down his body. He is peeping alot too, hope it is okay.

Don't open the bator until they have all hatched. You will vapor lock any unhatched chicks and they will die. Once they have all hatched, then just take a damp cloth and wipe the chick clean. He should be okay. Sometimes, there is a tiny bit of blood. I wouldn't worry too much, unless it is bleeding alot.
