In the middle of hatch - do you remove fluffed out chicks?

[Merci BeauCoop]

I removed both chicks that hatched and helped one of the others that got stuck. I removed most of the outer shell in a small ring to complete what she had already removed. I did not remove any membrane but it looks like she is doing pretty well with that herself and I didn't want to over help. The other chick that got stuck appears to be working on it herself as well. I think it is just going to be a slow hatch. These are Ameraucana - do they typically take longer to hatch thank the Orpingtons and Dominique Heritage (the two that already hatched)? None of the Marans have even started yet.

I should have removed the membrane because it dried out and trapped them inside. I finally helped them out entirely and hopefully saved their lives. They would not have made it otherwise.
