Temp is at 101. Chick has been pipped since roughly 5 pm yesterday. Roughly 19 hours or so. I know to wait it out at least 24 hours if the baby seems okay,..but my problem is that my gut it telling me the chick is declining. I had one of its brothers/sisters pip upside down on the wrong end on day 20 that got all the way to zip and then couldn't get out because there was no room,...it was a very tiny small end. I assisted and the chick hatched out. Afterwards, that particular chick had what looked like omphalitis and curved in feet that she couldn't walk on. I separated her and gave it a day to see what would happen and miraculously the chick got better and her feet were straight. Now I'm just worried something bad is happening to this one.What is your temp at and how long has this baby been externally pipped?
