What is wrong with my quail chick?

Thanks for all the kind words. I certainly need them right now, I am still a novice at hatching, and having never lost a chick before, this was kind of a shock. Of course, I knew chicks could die, but still... One died hatching, the other two died close to each other. Also, would a breeder want the badly bred quail? I'm worried the others may have problems such as a low fertility rate?

:/ I think all the issues I've run into with helping babies out of the shell were due to humidity fluctuations. all the ones I've helped had already started the hole, but couldnt finish it. It'd take me a good 3 hours to hatch them bit by bit. Never lost any, but their little membranes were so thick and kinda dried out I figured that's what happened.
Helped out a friend in a similar situation. She had 7 eggs and out of those 7 only two have died. One because it bled out and one later on when it was almost fully feathered under mysterious circumstances.

The other ones I've done were all chickens and one cockatiel.

Maybe I'm doing something right???
 
Hmm, out of 15 hatched I had to help one of mine out of its egg because it was too big and couldn't move, it's fine right now..
