Emergency!! Positioned wrong/Assisted hatching! Please help!

I'll prepare you for the next round first take him out and wet whatever membrane you can see and send a pic, then I need you to peal a little more shell off. I'll show u a pic
 
Peal some more shell off right above his bill becareful because there may be veins there, we just can't see them right now. Then your gonna push his and if there's membrane that is suppose to be attached to the shell there you will need to push it upwards. You see we need more space on the top of his beak because will never get that big old head out. Lol. They have two membranes one that covers them and then a second one that is usually attached to the shell but sometimes that first membrane isn't always attached to the shell and is attached to there membrane.

You don't need to take a lot of shell off either, just a tab more to expose more of his beak. Right now we need him to yawn and make a little bit of noise, make sure he is doing that, then he'll rest..

Now somewhere here is going to be a wing, will need to pull that wing out

I'm not sure if it's the piece hang off to the left or if it's tucked under his neck, either way will need to get it out. Once that's out, you can grab that beak and pull. You will pull down and out. You'll have to go down first but you can't until that wing is out..
 
So have a Qtip that is wet after you take off more shell from the top of his beak, take a qtip place it under his chin and flip that wing out. Your gonna push the qtip towards, your body away from him, it should just flip right out of there, then you can proceed with grabbing that beak and go down and out. Let me know if you don't understand anything...

Once that head is out will let him do the rest, of course, you'll still have to wet him, but if your humidity is up, he shouldn't have any problems..
 
I'm gonna finish putting everyone to bed, YEH I know my ducks are waiting for me. Lol so I'll be off for a little while but I'll be back to check in...
 
Okay, I didnt take the bottom portion of the shell off because I wasnt sure if putting him on a hard surface would injure anything. He's been yawning every now and then, and he yawned when I cut the membrane. He's also chirping lightly. He's resting now. He seems perfectly stable.
