Any advice for helping this one hatch?

Air cell is stretching almost the length of the egg instead of being in the proper place. There's no way this poor chick can hatch by itself is there?

I may be looking at your photos incorrectly. It looks like the air sacs are on the large end of the egg? If so, then they are in the proper place.

I was actually holding the egg horizontal but you can't tell easily. Looks like it's very near hatch but I don't think it can pip with such a crazy long air cell.

Ah I see. Well, I'd just watch to see if they can hatch on their own, they might surprise you. If necessary, assist. Read the article multiple times, lots of good information in it.

I watched this egg very carefully. I saw it internal pip and then external pip. It made no progress in almost 24 hours due to it's position. I started carefully breaking away the shell and membrane with my hatching assistance kit and left it like this as I wasn't sure about the blood vessels. After a bit the chick was able to kick itself out of the egg with some minor shrink wrap. I was able to remove the shrink wrapped membrane and the chick is fine now. Drying out and peeping. This isn't my first go with assisting so I've had some experience already.

This is my assistance kit.

Oh good!
I'm glad everything went well. Congratulations on the chick!
