If he has pipped externally 24 hours ago, you may need to help a bit. You need to try to find the bill in the air cell(which should be close to external pip) and make the hole a bit larger. You may actually have to get the bill out up to the nares to make sure he can breathe.

Ok I opened the three that were pipped. The first one had really really dry membranes. It was not shrink wrapped but it was close. I went ahead and opened the other two that had pipped. They were all alive but dry. I wrapped those three is a wet paper towel and put a wet sponge in there to up the humidity.

Did you actually hatch them or just make a larger pip?

It's at 68% right now but it's climbing since I added the towel and sponge.
