i'm afraid my eggs won't hatch, help me calm down a bit :D

Try warm wet qtip.

ok

also, his other eye is still stuck, should i put him in some hot water for a couple seconds? maybe then everything will come off...

Don't submerge it...just wipe eye area with damp paper towel or qtip to get the gunk off and eye to open.

Or a warm moist cotton ball. He looks pretty sticky, which usually means high humidity, not enough moisture loss inside the egg, and that stuff dries solid. But just clear the eyes and beak/nostrils first. Let him get up and about. The toes are an easy fix if they stay curled.

You can put him upright in a small coffee cup for a little while. I wouldn't tie his legs with a string.

i put him in a small ceramic coffee cup now, he seems to be able to stand upright in there, how long should i keep him there and how often should i let him out to drink and eat (even if it'll be hard since he cant stand up

the qtip worked he can now open both eyes. i put him in the brooder into a small coffee cup so he can try and stand up.

Is he in the brooder, or back in the incubator?

ok just check on him often to make sure he's not over-heating or too cold.
(sad experience, I lost one that I immobilized in an area that was too warm)
