Black spots in egg?

Don’t worry. I’ve done way worse with one I thought was a dud. You are doing great.

OK I broke where the membrane was pulled down and wet it. I stopped a tiny spot started to bleed. It is opening its mouth here and there. So assuming don't pull the membrane

Right, don't pull anything that you don't have to.
And just so you know, there will be tiny inactive blood vessels left behind in the shell on a normal hatch, so a small spot during assists is not uncommon. As long as its not a huge fat bleeder blood vessel, most of the tiny ones are actually detached from the body by this point.

Here is a picture the front bottom almost looks like no blood vessels. Do you think it's still absorbing them?

I think I can see a foot over his head. That's why he's being slow. But it'll be fine, you are saving this baby!

My biggest concern at this point is the membrane over the face, and above the bill. It looks like its hardening a bit, and possibly sticking. See if you can lift and stretch the membrane, from the opening on top of the bill. I don't see any major bleeders, but be careful.
The membrane stuck to the body is not too difficult to clean off once it hatches safely. Around the face, bill, and eyes are much more tender areas, and more danger to pull, if they get too firmly attached, so getting those away first is priority. Give it a little time now though, and work on it a little each time you oil the membrane.

Is it still peeping well, and wiggling, etc?

It's peeping not wiggling to much at all. So should I use my fingers and try to pull. Up around the face for membrane

Finger, q-tip, carefully with tweezers... whatever is easiest for you. I'm always nervous and half-shaking when I work around their face, so q-tips and my fingernails are safest for me. I feel less likely to poke their eye out. lol

OK this is where we are now few spots bled. Looks like I got it off the face. Should I keep pulling or braking more shell. Foot is over the head. The lower part it's really stuck to it.. I used my fingers

Now it's body is moving some. Acts like it wants out. I almost want to peel that lower spot of membrane and take some shell off by the foot. But idk.
Thank you all for. Your help. I coukdnt being do this without you.. I'm. Shaking so bad!!! That's why I was afraid to use tweezers.
