You need to keep humidity up over 60% in the brooder box if you have transfered the chicks to a separate area. Never be in a rush to move the newly hatched chicks from the incubator. They should stay with their brood mates in the humid, warm incubator for at least 24 hours after hatch. You can add a few small drops of warm water to the area that appears stuck (use an eye dropper). Keep the chick warm at all times and out of drafts.
Do not pull the shell away from the body of the chick, you may damage it.

It can take up to 24 hours for the chick to complete its escape. It is best not to help the chick break out of the shell as you can damage the chick trying to help. There is a supply of blood in the shell membrane that will weaken the chick if broken early. Increase the humidity in the incubator, lack of moisture is the main reason for die off in the shell during peeping. try for 75% humidity.
What helps chicks get out of shells?
At the tip of a chicks beak is a small sharp bump called the egg tooth.

The chick comes out of the shell with this egg tooth intact but it soon is absorbed as the beak grows and the chick get older.

How does a baby penguin survive and grow?
The egg stands on the webbed feet of the male, and is kept warm by a fold of belly skin, while the female goes to sea to eat. On her return, some weeks later, after the female feeds the chick, they swap places, leaving the very hungry male to head off to sea to feed. Once the chick becomes big enough, all chicks gather together in a creche and both adults can go to sea, feeding the chick on their return.

The germinal disc. The egg is really just a single cell, until it is fertilized. The blastodisc (white spot on top of the yolk) is what will become part of the fetus when fertilized with sperm. Then the fetus feeds off the yolk to continue developing.

What do you do if your 1 week old chick has really hard feces stuck to its anus and you can not seem to get it off?
This is a tricky situation , My preferable option is to get a piece of cotton wool or cloth. Then boil a kettle. From the water in the kettle add a bit of cold water. Soak the cotton wool in the water. Hold the cotton wool where the poo is stuck. Every few miniutes see if it is easier to pull the poo off (dont pull hard as it will hurt the poor chick) Keep soaking until poo comes off.
How long should it take for a chick to actually brake out of its egg?
It might be time to intervene by now if the chick hasn't made any progress within those 24 hours. Begin by GENTLY peeling the shell away from where the chick's beak has poke through. Stop immediately if it is wet and bloody around the site of where you are peeling. This means it is not ready and can die of blood loss if you continue. Continue slowly within the day if it is not. You can peel the entire thing, but just enough so that it can break its way on its own later.
