Hi here is a good article on assisted hatching:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching.64660/
As people have mentioned keep temperature (about 100F) and humidity (about 70%) high, wait as long as you can before intervening.

Welcome to BYC - sorry for the circumstances. You will need to keep them warm - as close to 100F as is possible, and hopefully they will hatch. Staggered hatches always result in problems as hens are genetically programed to leave the nest within 24 to 36 hours of the first chick hatching. This is so that the chicks can find food and water.

Have the live eggs under a heat lamp and humidifier going nest to dresser one is out but on side moving meaning kicking legs and lift wings alot of peeping but it looks like umbilical cord still attached to what's left of half egg no yoke sac so should I tie off the umbilical cord with sting or just see if it dries up to release from lining while he's moving his legs his down is starting to fluff hasn't gotten up on side sleeping and peeping and kicking what else can I do now the other eggs are peeping Inside too

Welcome! What can we help you with?

Chic assistance tried to ask how to go to forums can't figure out what to do chic out except bottom half egg looks like tiny umbilical cord still attached moving kicking peeping have not left all day except to eat down Is fluffing under heat lamp with other inside peeping eggs hen left cause five came with no issues one died in shell left after pipped to avoid this and she never helped died in egg so this is alive out of half egg and just laying but active movement and chriping but hasn't opened eyes or tried sitting up cause looks like cord is still there in lining any suggestions

I would try not to touch or tie off the umbilical cord part as its probably part of the yolk sac that hasn't absorbed yet- hopefully given more time it will. I would leave the chick for a bit as it wont need to eat for the first 24 to 48hrs. You will need a hygrometer to measure humidity, a pet store would have one but if you can't get there just try to keep the air around the remaining eggs as moist as possible.
