First duck hatch lockdown questions

They are piping quite loud and holes are bigger but none have hatched. There is one that is cracked all around the top but doesn't look like an real hole has been made.... When should I step in to help and if I do need to make a hole, what is the safest way to do so?
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I see little beaks coming through some chipping away at the eggs

I sprayed them right before the photo and my post so about an hour ago so they are drying up... And yes.... 2 are definitely upside downers

but they are moving and making progress.. One of the upside downers is chipping away at the hole the other is moving but not quite as much .. Is there anything I can do to help them? They are definitely all moving along pretty well

5 out of 8 have hatched so far the other 3 are working on it! One of the upside downers is out healthy and beautiful, did it on his/her own.

Very very slowly. I tried taking off a little piece of shell on one of the 3 and saw blood so I stopped immediately.... Should I try the upside downer? Ok nervous I'm going to do more harm than good, not sure what's best
 
So the one I first helped head just popped out of the shell but lower body is still in and I can see a little bit of blood and she does not look like she if doing well. Breathing slow with eyes closed unlike the others who were very lively... Is there anything I can do that might help her make it?
