Hello! 
New here, looking for advice.
I'm hatching button quail and I know this is a frequent question, I've read some of the other posts and going back and forth trying to decide if I should assist one of my chicks that has pipped and not making progress.
Background info - this is my first ever hatch, 12 went into incubator. On day 20 now, first two chicks hatched late at night on day 17 and early morning day 18. None of the other eggs showed any signs of hatching. I had quickly moved the two over to my brooder after they dried out. Then the evening of day 18 I noticed one pipping. He made some progress yesterday but this morning when I checked the egg looks the same, no more progress since last night. I can still see his little beak moving but it's now been over 24hrs, close to 36hrs. Do I intervene?
Attaching pictures. The incubator is probably not the best but it's what I could afford, automatic turner but had some temp issues at times where I had to bump up the temp as inside thermometer reading low. For instance right now set at 100 and reading 98. Humidity has been consistent 70-75 since lockdown.

definitely curled toes on at least one leg and possibly wry neck I can't tell, having trouble standing. Is this from being stuck in the egg too long or is this what caused him to get stuck? I had read 65-75% for humidity but maybe that was written for other types not buttons, thank you for the info! Is there anything I should be doing for him to help increase his chances of making it or no?
so it seems like he's doing great! I have him in with the other two and they were pecking at the bandaids at first but they stopped, I think just curious. They all seem to be getting along and he's straightening his legs now (he was hobbling along the ground before). Next challenge will be figuring out how to gently take them off...
Bandaid shoes are off! Did a water soak with a tiny bit of baby soap. Toes are much straighter though not as separated as the others but at least the feet are making contact with the ground. Walking a bit awkwardly but hopefully just adjusting now that the bandaids are off. This is her (or him?
