We have a baby chicken that started pipping last night. I heard it chirping and everything. Now this morning my husband said it’s not chirping and hasn’t pipped much more. He thinks it’s died

Do they stop and sleep and rest before breaking out sometimes?It can take a while for chicks to hatch. I would give it some more time.
It's very normal for chicks to take breaks. Just continue to wait a little longer.Do they stop and sleep and rest before breaking out sometimes?
Yes, they do. Hatching is a lot of work, so they sleep a lot in between.Do they stop and sleep and rest before breaking out sometimes?
X2 I would also recommend playing a you tube video with chicks cheeping, the chick in the egg will start cheeping again. After 24 hours you may need to assist.Have you guys peeped to it see if it responds? Wobbled it a bit to see if it moves or peeps? How's your humidity in your incubator? Is it possible the membrane has begun to shrinkwrap the chick? While yes they do rest you need to check a couple other things before you rule out a prehatch death/ still living. Hopefully it is still alive.
