3 of 6 hatched, 1 of the 3 unhatched is breached with a nose poking out, may help him out in a little while if he doesn't get out on his own. Pics when I get time.

Wait 24 hours before helping is standard advice for chickens. Even then, expect the worst.
But 3/6 is great- can't wait for pics!

Yep. A few glances at egg pics and a few more glances at my porch confirmed they'd be this species soon after I found them. Should have been obvious, I was just hoping it would be a dangerous snake.
I figure I'll hang out with them for a week or so, take some more pics, and them release them.
These things are pretty much instinct, right? Mama lizard wasn't going to teach them anything, so they're not fucked if I release them, right? Cause if so, I can do up a terrarium.

They'll be fine on their own. I'd release them near where the eggs were.

I think I'll release all but one to keep in a terrarium. I should start collecting tiny crickets.

So far I think I'm only looking at a single failed egg. One more hatched in the night, another started to hatch and has his head all the way out, and one fella has just had the tip of his nose poking out since yesterday.
If I help out the last fella and he lives, that'll be 100% hatching, which makes me pretty happy.

So, everyone made it. 5/6 fully hatched, one fella has been working his way out all day, had his front half clear of the egg and is just resting his back half.
100% hatching, I'm pretty happy with that.

Here's another question; several people have spoken of embryonic nutrients, and how they can live off that for about a week. Is this already in their body, or does this refer to the remains of the egg itself? I'd like to move them into a much larger terrarium, but if it entails trying to pick all the egg chunks out of the rock wool, I'll just wait till they've finished eating it.

It's already in the body.
Think of a chicken egg for reference. The real egg is a little spot on the side of the yolk.. when fertilized the egg whites coagulate into the structure, around the yolk. The yolk stays in the stomach area the whole time, and the digestive tract gets built around it...
If you've ever fed immature/unborn chicks to something, you'd be able to see the yolk yellows squished out of the stomach area.
