We had one chick under mama, that got most of its shell off, but none of the membrane. The membrane completely dried out.
So we moistened that, and worked it off the top half of the chick.
I am letting it finish, as it seems healthy and it is very loud with plenty of movement.

However, it does have a teeny bit of yolk left. Wondering what I should do if that does not dry up quickly?
FYI: We do not have vasoline in the house, as we are rather strict about petroleum type products of that sort.
 
Don't do anything. My first hatch I was fortunate to be in the chat room with some experienced people. I questioned the yolk looking thing too, thinking something was wrong. Its not, so just let mama handle the chick, and if its inside, just let it dry and get its feet.
 
1/2 hour later, its looking good. It finished getting out on its own, and is quite active.
