https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101 Not sure if you have seen these BYC articles on hatching. Chicks pipping at the wrong end of the egg is under malpositions, it is not that uncommon, quite a few of these chicks do make it out on their own. If you need to assist because the chick isn't making any progress the link to assisted hatching. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching

Thankyou .....i just woke up and he is out ...... :)
