Day 21 and yesterday I noticed a piece of shell sticking out from the bottom of the egg with chirping..my first pip!! However, the pip is on the small end, near the bottom so it is very hard to see. Well, at some point yesterday the bator got unplugged for approx. 2 hours
. Once I noticed I immediately plugged it back in! Now, this morning I noticed the little piece of shell fell off and I still hear loud healthy chirping but no real progress other than the piece of shell falling off. I know I shouldn't open the incubator but I can't see anything due to the location of the pip!! Is it ok to roll the egg over so I can assess the membrane for dryness or should I just leave it alone and give it time? I am worried I may have to assist later on and I'm hoping she can do it on her own. Please help!! I need advice!!
