#8 (the egg I thought would be next to hatch and I was right, it’s the malpositioned chick that I made this post about):

Another view of 8:

And finally, egg 11, (the egg that was chipped yesterday and is pipping, also malpositioned, today)

another view of 11 including what became the pip:

#3 looks dead to me. I am just seeing a dark shadow/blob and no veins. The rest look good! The one that pipped is definitely NOT ready. I still see active veins and lots of space. Don't rush him. The rest look about 1-4 days out.

I thought that about #3 too but wasn’t 100% sure.
Here is where we’re at this morning...zipping started last night as I was going to bed. They’re partially zipped but still in the egg. This is egg 11, this morning.

Another look at egg 11. That membrane looks really dry to me?

 

[AltonaAcres]

So how long has that one been zipped? Once they start start zipping they should be out in an hour's time.

The membrane looks a little dry but if he's this far along it must not be too bad. Maybe wet the membrane with coconut oil, give him an hour to try and push out, and if he still hasn't then you could start slowly zipping for him around the rest of the egg and then let him push out. Can you see his beak??

I don’t think I have coconut oil...I have some almond oil I think?
Not the beak on this one. Looks like his back maybe?

They were starting to zip last night. One hasn’t made much more progress. The one pictured made more progress but isn’t out of the egg.
Less rocking and chirping than yesterday.
