Chick hatching

[McKenzieroo]

My chick has pipped about 14 hours ago and made no progress how do I know when to help this is what the egg looks like

He's probably still absorbing the yolk. Just be patient for now.

An expert online said to never help when they pip. Only help if they are almost done and are too tired to finish.

If he can't get through the first pip, he isn't strong enough and will not make it.

Wait awhile. I had a chick that pipped internally took about 18 hours to externally pip and then 20 hours to hatch fully after externally pipping. Some chicks take more time some take less

Sorry to have just jumped in here. I'm looking to make a post to get info on hatching without an incubator. I have a couple broody Buff Orpingtons and want to let them sit and hatch but need to know what to do and what not to do. Can you tell me where the right place to post such questions would be?
Thanks!
