I'm no expert as this is my first time hatching eggs but I think most people wait until 24 hours after the chick has pipped to step in and help if the chick hasn't made much progress.
thats kind of what i was thinking but during my first hatch (this is my second) i lost two while they were trying to hatch and it was less than 24 hours since they started to "pip" so i can't help but think if id just get them out sooner maybe they would be fine. but you can't if you are not opening it until they all hatch and dry.
