Oh yeah sorry I didn't see the link to the pictures. But I just did... Awe that's so sad...... ): I'm having another hatching problem of my own, now... Ya know the egg with the dry membrane? Well, I can hear it pecking at the shell, but I know it's at the opposite end.... Will it live? Should I help it at some point? I'm trying to keep the humidity up as best I can... And awe sorry about your roo!!! ):

Okay, MAJOR EMERGENCY!!!!! So, I decided to help her because she looked shrink wrapped. I picked up her egg and chipped away some shell, then I saw that her head actually WAS in the right position. I thought there wasn't any blood, so I tried to widen the hole where her beak was. She was breathing and chirped when I touched her, but when I pulled away a Piece of the membrane some blood came out. She's still breathing, but it looks a but harder. Will she be okay?!

I did this with one of mine and carefully set it back in wrapped in warm wet paper towel and it finished coming out on its own and did ok ...

Awwwwww sparkey, so sorry! if that happens again, remember if she is breathing she will be fine in most cases.... its best to wet membrane gently and NOT near her beak! and have a tweezers and pull just a bit away from her beak area, sorta like round it.... DO NOT GET HER HEAD OUT!! then wet her again and WAIT WAIT give her two hrs and wet it again and WAIT WAIT WAIT...... when u WET that membrane you will KNOW when she takes all the vessels into her and they will get really small and NOT SO RED looking! continue process.....

REMEMBER THEY LIVED FINE IN THAT SHELL FOR 21 +/- days, its whats in there that made them happen.... DO NOT RUSH EVER give them time, they have a terrible lot of absorbing to do, all the blood and fluids in the veining as well as the yolk, which in itself takes about 24 hrs, if you get there heads out, the try to free prematurely and will surely push the shell off way too early and not get ALL THAT GOOD STUFF THEY NEED! If not they will be already stressed and may not even make it as a chick!
