Ok, so these are some tough eggs. Just a bit of background: my guineas were sitting on them for the longest time but recently abandoned the nest( one guinea hatched, disappeared and then the hens stopped sitting consistently). Eggs were cold to the touch when I brought them inside and popped into bat or, just to see if I can save them.
Fast forward a few days, one keet hatched last night but the other one, which is the egg I had seen pipped first yesterday morning, is still in the egg. It used to squeak but isn't anymore. It is moving and I removed a bit of shell around the pip and put a damp towel around it.
It has been at least 24 since the pop and it started cracking the shell in other places, too, but isn't out. Should I help it more?
