Doesn’t look good. No veining I can see and seems to have quite a bit of fluid in there behind the membrane.First one...
Yes it's very watery. It rolls around with the egg. Should it be solid?Yeah, toss it.
Good luck! You got this!
If it were me, it's been so long since your one chick hatched, I wouldn't hesitate to open most of the air cell up and look for movement and veins, and if it looked ok I would probably fully assist at this point. But read that guide before you do anything.

ETA: I’m guessing no movement? (Just in case, there’s been weirder things I’ve seen lol)
Yeah, toss it.
By this stage most of the fluid should be gone from around the chick. They’re usually pretty tight up against the membrane and it’s contoured to them. (I think there are pictures of “normal” ones on the assisted hatching guide.)Yes it's very watery. It rolls around with the egg. Should it be solid?

Toss that one for sure.
That ones no good either. better to know than toss a good egg though!
Here’s a “good” egg for comparison. I assisted this sebright that was malpositioned, it was trying its darnedest to pip through that membrane but it was so tangled up with its legs it couldn’t reach. But see how tight to the chick the membrane is, and the veins? (And of course, it was kicking and wiggling all over).View attachment 2393420

Plus I've managed to get some more eggs so no point keeping them waiting if the incy is not needed. What happened here!?Here’s a “good” egg for comparison.
