Well, I slowly assisted them along. They were very tired by the end. There were actually two stuck in the shell. I kept slowly removing shell as mentioned, soaking in wet paper towel, etc. I have them plenty of in shell time making sure they had breathing holes. Didn't have enough strength to get out of shell and membrane do I helped a little towards the end, once the veins weren't red. When they finality got out, they had what looked like abdomen tears. I believe it was where the yolk was absorbing. There was no yoke left, but they looked like cuts. Used betadine, and a little non stick wrap on one chick. They are both arriving around slowly and stiffly. I am praying they will be ok.

Congratulations They are lovely!!

Good luck with them
