Pete, i carefully pulled back the top part of the shell and pulled out the head so the little one can be comfy and soak up the rest of the yoke, this is what i found.
sadly explains why the poor thing was taking a while.

I had a chick hatch like that before. He hatched by himself, but we knew there was no way he would make it. I had to have to the hubby dispatch him

This usually means they are early in my experience. What I did when I helped one out like this was kept his bum in the bottom half of his egg shell and then wrapped him pretty tightly in a wet washcloth like swaddling a baby. Mine was really new so it didn't want to move around yet. I put him back in the hatcher and by morning he was stronger and was out of the cloth and his belly was sucked all up. Is yours really active? If he is up and about, you might want to spray blu kote on it or something to keep it clean. Good luck!

it's a sleepy one still in the incubater resting some what got the button in, so your saying keep it moist then?

No, I just felt like a wet cloth was able to wrap tighter around him. I think you just want them still until it goes in, so they don't injure it.

I have a trio of sebs that are done laying. Got the last egg 4 days ago. The last goose that was laying is now setting (on nothing!). Should I take the kennels in their coop away, so she stop? I would prefer to get the flock "back to normal" asap. I want to put all my geese together again for summer/fall.

I have read that spraying betadine weaked with water to look like weak tea is good to spray on belly buttons.

That should work too. Anything to keep it germ free.
