9 eggs in lockdown, no internal pips. 4 eggs are day 19 & 5 are day 18. I've struggled with temps this hatch so maybe they will run late. Wish me luck!

A little help please! I've got 80 in lock down with no problems at all till today! First 1 box spiked to 106 and the heat light was flashing...never seen that before and I hadn't touched the temp since I set them. Then, the heater in the room went out and all of my temps dropped to 97. Now I've got this little guy trying to come out the wrong end and it looks like there's some yoke on his beak and a pinkish fluid just under the membrane...wth! I'm used to a nice bright white, this doesn't look right...what do I do?!
Sorry I'm not knowledgeable with this, but if no one responds go read the assisted hatch forum, hopefully this helps.
How are the others doing? Is this the only one that has pipped so far?

So far I have 8 pipped, 2 are zipping, and they all look good...well another pipped in the right spot but looks up side down and seems to be zipping long ways down the egg but the membrane looks good and he's breathing fine.
I'm totally hovering. I am supposed to be at work, came home for lunch and it doesn't look like I'm leaving the house!
Thanks!
You Know what I am Going to say-----------Leave that Bator Closed till they all hatch or day 22---then open it and help any that need it.
Thanks!

It's so hard!!
I'm sure I can force myself to be patient but do you know what usually happens to these chicks? Have you seen this before? I just want to know what to expect. I'm positive it's yoke on his beak, do they pull through after doing that?
You do what ever you feel you need to do---they are yours.It's so hard!!I'm sure I can force myself to be patient but do you know what usually happens to these chicks? Have you seen this before?

In my opinion---that chick has a problem and you might loose it---And "I" would not open it to try to help---and put the others at risk. Good Luck!!
