This egg pipped 24 hours ago, but has been like this for 12. Should I assist? She's not doing a lot of pecking.

Are there any other eggs in the incubator?

 

[Fanci Feathers Marans]

There's one. The other is infurtil. It's day 24

I would help by taking small pieces of the shell off and keep bumping up the humidity.

Okay. Humidity is 70% right now. Still bump it up?

 

[9chickenwhisperer]

No the humidity is good now. Is it still moving just not making progress?

 

[Fanci Feathers Marans]

Still good, but no pecking. I think her head was stuck, though.

You might have to finish up the zip for her, wait and see. Good call on that; I find that once they make the hole round like that they're usually stuck.

Great!!
If it still needs help keep taking small pieces of the shell off. You're doing great!

Really? I'll have to remember that. I'd say it would be okay to just pull her out, but I don't want to chance it.
