Baby turkey not hatching

[birdlover12]

I have some turkey eggs that I am hatching, one hatched fine, one struggled a little and now I have one who has broken through the egg, but its only a small hole and it keeps sticking its beak out and peeping but its not breaking through anymore. It has been about 20 hours since it broke through and it still hasn't really made any progress. What should I do? I worry that I did something wrong and possibly the humidity was off or something that is keeping it from getting through the shell. Any suggestions on what I should do??

I used to help chicks/ ducklings break free of the egg if it has taken for them too long too have freed him/herself.

When I got up this morning, it had stopped peeping so I helped her out. The shell was really hard so I'm guessing that she wasn't able to break out. She looks ok, but we shall see.
