EMERGENCY! goose hatching help

[ermer124]

i have a goose egg that's trying to hatch. He internally pipped about 2 days ago. he's been chirping and pecking pretty solidly, but last night i was worried that he might suffocate since he hadn't externally pipped yet so i made a small 'safety hole' for air. he's still chirping a lot so i know hes okay for now, but i need to know when to assist further. also, ive read a lot about 'shrink wrapping' with the membrane, and im wondering how the membrane should look. part of it is still pretty clear and looks ok, but part of it is white and dry looking, and im wondering what to do. my humidity is pretty solid between 75-90 but occasionally it has dropped to around 70 and im wondering if that's the problem. I've never hatched before so im very very worried and any help would be greatly appreciated
