One of mine was still attached to the bottom of the shell (the one with a little blood) after I had peeled all the rest of the shell off. I put it in the incubator with the shell still attached and let it eventually kick it off itself.
UPDATE!!!
WE HAVE BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are only about 30 minutes old and were practically born running!!!
I found out I apparently shrink wrapped them so I started opening a few of the other eggs and found that they are worse then these two.. so I placed a wet paper towl over them in the hopes it will make a difference!

Thank you for all of your help!! I dont know if anyone else would have answered my pleads... They might have been stuck in the eggs until they died... Thank you so much!!
It's been long enough I think you need to intervien. Start chipping away gently at the shell. If you see any blood at all stop and put it back. For at least an hour they aren't ready. If no blood then keep going. WITH tweezers.
I know a lot of people don't believe in helping out but I did with my 7th duckling and am so glad I did. Once they start to shrinkwrap if you are in a dry climate it seem nearly impossible for them to get out without assistance . At least that is how it has been for me here. Congrats on the babies!
