Help now what, unfortunately now we have another. He made it 90 % out then rested, in that resting time he is now stuck to the shell. his left side of his head down to his shoulders

Thank you for every ones help, I would be completely freaking out with out you, right now just mildly freaking........
 
The babies that are stuck to the membrane will need assistance getting loose. Get warm water running & either with a q-tip or your fingers gently rub the warm water over the areas that are stuck. I have literally had to use my fingernail to scrape stuck membrane off of chicks before. Once the membrane is completely loose they should slide right out with the next push. If you wait too long they won't have the energy left to push & may not make it. If I have a chick I can see is obviously stuck to the membrane I never hesitate to assist. The sooner they are unstuck the better their chances of survival are.
