So far so good, thanks! I have been working on the african and he is almost half out of his shell, screaming up a storm. The other two shrink-wrapped Toulouse are resting comfy. The backwards Toulouse is trying to chip at shell and looking strong. Hope to have African half out in the next hour or so. I am just scared to chip too much away at one time... Learned that lesson the hard way already. But I think he is ready. He externally pipped almost 36 hours ago.
 
My African is mostly out now. Just his bottom end in shell, which he will kick off after his nap. His yolk is fully absorbed and he looks healthy! One down.... 3 to go!
 
Latest progress... african pretty much kicked shell off right after I took this pic... this is where I am at now:
