Just an update: this chick didn't make it. She never was able to move from the position she was in to fully zip. I checked on her after a few hours and she was dead. I'm sure there was something else going on beyond just the pip being malpositioned...but I'm not sure what.

Thank you. I pulled her and candled...the air sac was definitely at the opposite end. So I drilled a safety hole and gently chipped an opening at that end to see in. The yolk and blood vessels were very evident. So I coated that opening with coconut oil, as well as the membrane area around her...

I have a chick that externally pipped at the wrong end at the end of day 19. It's been 36 hours. The original pip was probably 5mm in diameter and her beak was exposed. She's widened the hole to double the size as the original pip (I think...the other chicks have also been pecking at everything)...
