I have a chick that started zipping about 6 hours ago but stopped and I’m not really sure what to do. I would open up the incubator to help it, but I have 3 other chicks that have pipped and I don’t want to “shrink wrap” them. Should I just wait till the pipped eggs hatch and then help it?

Hi all,
I just got 6 chicks about a week ago. One of them (marshy) has what is called pasty butt. (I think) It is a real bad one. (I think....again.) Can someone tell me what to do? I read that if I just leave it the chick might die.

Thanks so much!
