its not that hard but everything is taking really slow. i will try to explain, the one that looks like it piped inside, there are 2 membranes. one just under the shell and one surrounding the chick where the air sack is, you must find something short and sharp. i use a sharp screw. disinfect everything you use. make a small pip on the outside small end where the air sack is.if you are careful you can avoid the membrane but if you open it its ok. you should see movement or hear the chick if it has piped inside. if it hasnt but it is alive put the smallest piece of scotch tape over the hole, if it has piped we can go ahead and start the hatch. with me so far?
