Incubating red golden pheasants- stuck in egg?!

[agilman]

Please help! This is my 1st time breeding and incubating red golden pheasants.

2 pipped yesterday morning. This morning one of them has a hole in the side of the egg and i can see the baby. But i can see that the thin paper layer is still on the baby. And i believe i see a little blood. The baby is breathing.

The 2nd egg that pipped yesterday has made his pip a little bigger but hasnt broken trough that thing paper layer. I can hear it chirping inside.

What do i do? Wait it out? Cant really help at this point?

What I do to help a chick out is: Use a tooth pick to open the pip a little larger, if it starts bleeding, stop and use a tissue or paper towel to stop the bleeding, return the chick to the incubator and give it more time. Don't have the egg out of the incubator for a long period while assisting or it will get chilled....the results being a dead or very weaken chick. Too much bleeding means that the yolk sac hasn't been totally absorbed and the blood vessels haven't constricted. I only do this 18 to 24 hours after they have pipped and haven't zipped. I've had chicks that have pipped, then rested for many hours before continuing in the hatching process. It really just depends on what I consider too much time to hatch.
I really don't have much trouble with golden or Amherst chicks. Once they pip, they usually zip within a few hours. I have found that some of the more demanding species will often need a little assistance in hatching. This should only be done as a last resort.
When taking the egg in and out of the incubator, make sure to keep the humidity level high, so as not to "shrink wrap" the chick. Usually but not always, this is a sign of a weak chick. Usually caused by incubation temperature above or below optimum.
