my husband forgot and turned the eggs last night, due tomorrow. They pipped on the bottom this morning. They’ve made no progress in 4 hours. Do we turn the eggs so the pip is up?

I've had chicks die after pipping because the pip was faced down, liquid inside ended up filling the pip hole. I try to watch my hatches pretty closely to make sure the pips are facing up. most of the time it doesn't matter, but sometimes it does.I saw another thread after posting this that said turn them, so I did.
nope not yet. wait 24 hours from when you first saw the pip.Dang, I’m ready for a break from all this egg-sitement! One hatched and the other still has the same pip hole. It sticks the end of its beak out and breathes and chirps but hasn’t made any progress. It’s been 8 1/2 hours since I noticed the pip and the beak. Do we help it?
