13 hours and this is the progress. Should I help?

Hello everyone, this is my first time incubating. I've read you are not supposed to help but it's been 13 hours since the first pip to this. Doesn't look like much more is happening. I can hear the odd cheep but I think it's coming from another egg. The other one is like the koolaid man breaking out. She seems to be coming out quite fast compared to this one.

Should I wait or help?

I should add that humidity did drop last night but I have brought it up to 70% this morning when I got up. This is also day 20.

Thanks

Don't do anything till after 24 hours. And it can take up to 48 hours to fully hatch.

If for chicken eggs, do not help.

Chicks often pip day 20 and hatch day 21.

They take breaks from pipping (making a crack in the out shell) to zipping (actually getting out of the egg.

I can hear the odd cheep but I think it's coming from another egg.

Very possible, you can hear peeps if an egg is internally pipped, though they won't be as loud as an externally pipped one.

Made me laugh.

Definitely better to wait.
