hm. Well if there is still a heart beat perhaps wait. I just did a search and found anothers post this was one of the replies to theirs.

""I have had one with a blood ring live. I didn't have the heart to take it out of the incubator when I seen it dancing in the egg and thank God I didn't. It did end up with deformed feet but nothing it can't live with. Shes one of my white silkies and a sweet heart. So yes it can make it "Hope" is my proof that it can. """

I threw some pictures up of them if you care to look. It's just weird that some had the gap and some didn't. I can't really see veins in the ones that dont though. All i see is the air sac and black.
What has your temperature been? Do you have a calibrated thermometer in your incubator? Your temp was probably in the higher side, and the chicks developed a bit faster. What day are you on right now? The eggs look fine to me.

Today is 19th.They are due to hatch Monday. And as for thermometer I have the one that came with the incubator. The temp is at 99.5 normally occasional flux to 100 but never higher
 
Its first time ever hatching eggs and none of my hens ever go broody.

Incubator is a little giant deluxe incubator with a automatic Turner and fan.

You're using the one of the incubator? Those are notoriously wrong. Usually by a lot. If you went just by that one you're probably lucky you have as many developing as you have. I would definitely get a different one and calibrate it. I'm sure your temp was high. What was the humidity the last 18 days?
 
Humidity staid at 48. The temp always felt about right for what it was suppose to be at so I don't think it was to high or wrong. I set it to the temp I readthe chick eggs needed to be at.(not from the manual)
