Okay i have one chick whose been slowly getting out since yesterday morning. Should i give him a hand? My first hatch so noo real clue if they can get trapped.

If he is fully detached from the membrane then you can help

 

[ams4776]

Well the egg is mostly cracked and the parts i see are dry. Does this sound good to help?

 

[Jeevesrules]

I dont really know because ive never helped a chick hatch before.

Is it just stuck inside the shell?

 

[ams4776]

Looks to me that he is having some trouble just finishing his progress. Though he is getting further along just real slow

 

[Jeevesrules]

I would help, but be very gentle.

Good Luck!

I hope you didn't ruin your hatch ...I have learned not to interfer after losing my remaining eggs. Helped one lost 12 let us know how it goes.
