If there's liquid you can stop with oil now. Use warm water instead of the oil. So every hour (I'm lengthening it for you, if he's moist he doesn't need the oil every half hour) mist him, and get a q-tip wet with warm water. Dampen the membrane with the water. Is he still making any yawning or chewing motions? Can you get a good pic of him/membrane?
Also beeping a lot and moving
You just wait until there are no veins, and he isn't yawning or chewing anymore. Did you read the guide I linked earlier? Follow that. You basically just make the air cell hole as big as possible, and start gently but firmly stroking from the back of his head down along the curve of his back. Try to unfurl is head. Once you get his head out, shine a light down his belly to see if there's any yolk. If there is definitely yolk (not to be confused with embryo wastes, which is a goopy greenish yellow colored blob with no veining in it) that has bright red veins in it, get a paper towel lined bowl, keep his bottom half in the egg, and put him back under the pad. Do not let him out until its absorbed. If there is no yolk, you can let him out. Just gently pull him out, or let him push out on his own. If you see any blood still attached to him, put his bottom half back in the egg, and follow the above unabsorbed yolk instructions (put him in the bowl til absorbed). If he's completely ready, no veins or yolk, let him out, toss the bottom half of the egg, and put him under the heating pad. Keep him under the pad for 3 or 4 hours, and then, if the brooder is at the correct temp, put him in the brooder. You can hold him for a few minutes and pet him, try to fluff him up some. Then put him in the brooder. I'll be back on in the morning, but only briefly around 8 a.m. CST.
Don't worry about his nails, he's fine. He won't hurt himself.
Getting closer then!
Aw, thank you. You don't have to be up all night, just maybe every few hours or so. Yes, there should be no veins. If you see red, wait longer.
