34 hours after external pip no progress.

[Oncoming Storm]

I’ve already had one chick hatch. My incubator is low visibility so I can only take a couple second long glances to check on welfare. I had another egg that looked like it was starting to pip and I swear there was a crack in the egg. That was about 34 hours ago. None of the other eggs show signs of hatching, but I can’t really see all that well. What should I do? Give it a couple more hours or try to assist?

Uh, so I did some reading and found a guide and it said to candle it, so I picked up the egg in question because it’s been well over 18-24 hours. It’s very much alive as it started yelling at me. So, should I just leave him alone because it sounds like he’s got air. He started complaining immediately so I just put him back in and didn’t look because it startled me.

I would give it some more time.

It’s been almost four hours. Another egg zipped and hatched but still no progress on the one in question…

has it gotten out yet? (sorry I didn't respond sooner )

Yeah, it made it out on its own. Turns out it was malpositioned so it just took longer than the others.
