External pip can take a day or so, depending on if it went thru air cell.
As long as you can see chicken breathing....let it work it out.

#1 isn't breathing

So #1 died, suffocated. I think had I helped it would have made it. #2 needed a little help this morning. As soon as I took away some shell it pushed right out and it's doing great. #3 died in shell, didn't absorb all of its yolk. #4 is breathing but still in shell so
