Chicken tender

Well, I just finished my second time incubating. Last year I hatched 14 of 20 viable eggs and thought that was pretty good for my first time. This time only 8 of 27 eggs hatched and after leaving the rest until day 24 I decided this morning to see what may have gone wrong. I candled them all again and I could see that 14 of them were quitters. 5 of them I wasn't sure and wanted to see if they had shrink wrapped. Well, I opened one and it was obvious she had just died late in the game. I opened a second one and out slides a live chick who seemed moments away from pipping! She had some blood at the opening and was still attached to her shell, but when I put her back in the incubator, the shell came off. She is currently laying in the incubator, breathing, not really bleeding, but nothing else. Here are my questions. 1. Is there anything I can do for this little chick? And 2. I put the other 3 eggs back in too and raised the humidity back up - is there anything I should do for them in case they are also alive? Thank you

what are some questions you have?
