The humidity in the incubator must be very high (85%) to allow moisture between the chick and the inner shell. Leave the peeped chicks in the incubator until they are fluffy and moving around, this also encourages the un-peeped chicks to finish emerging.

Helping your chicken egg hatch?
Not a very good idea. Some will tell you it is fine but the novice often does a lot of unnecessary damage to an otherwise healthy chick. Everyone who incubates eggs feels like they need to render aid to the emerging chick but in most cases they are just over anxious about the time the chick is taking to get out of the shell. Inside the shell are two membranes, one, the inner membrane carries a blood supply to the unhatched baby and only the chick can safely halt the blood flow and in its own time. The outer membrane does not carry blood and it can be dry and force the need for help but very seldom. The chick often stops working on emerging from the shell and rests but this is normal. As long as the humidity is right and the chick is otherwise healthy let it work.
