You still have some time then. Give it 24 hrs from pip time and if she's not zipping by then you can think about whether it's appropriate to assist. Mine looked like it was stuck for the whole day and then it suddenly zipped and popped out!

Pip to zip can take up to 36 hours (usually sometime up to 24hrs though).

Thank you so much, I will keep you updated

Another one has pipped!! So that’s 4 out of the 6 eggs.

Humidity variations during the first 18 days is not as detrimental as variations in temperature. I never can tell if my eggs are "moving" or if Ive bumped the table! Ha!
Wait it out! Day 21 is when the magic happens! Or a little before or after... I know its nerve wracking! I have make myself leave the bator window, but its so fun to come back in a few hours and find a little fluff ball inside!

i'l be sleeping in the incubator room tonight

the one egg who had trouble breaking free is very slowly making progress. all though it hasn't got the two main pieces of shell off, it has chipped off a tiny little fragment of shell. i constantly hear it cheeping in the incubator however all the other eggs that have pipped are silent. I'm not sure if the troubled egg has reached zipping yet but it sure does look like it has. I'm a little bit worried about it because it has been 20 hours since the external pip so if it doesn't make it out tonight i am going to attempt to help it out tomorrow evening.

That sounds like a reasonable plan. If it’s breathing and peeping you shouldn’t have much to worry about before then. I’m just waiting on the sixth and final chick, who has started to zip now (Day 22).
