Chick stuck almost hatched

[MarionIN4Chickens]

Hey all I’m on day 19 of hatching my second batch of coturnix and I have one little guy that has almost fully hatched but has been sat like this for almost three hours. He’s trying to push out but just can’t seem to get that final push out done. Would you leave him be or help him get the shell off his head?

I know nothing about quail, but let me find someone who can help...
@Nabiki please come see .

Usually I don't assist but in this case I'd remove the top of the shell, it should be able to push it's self out of the shell.

you should help him.

This one is a clear case of take a second and pull the top of the shell off. It might have issues that kept it from hatching, but it also has a good chance if you help out.

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to and I didn’t want to risk causing harm
