Normal for chicks to bump unhatched, hatchmates around. It won't hurt them.

Thank you!
How long does it take a baby chick to pipe? This egg has piping since yesterday evening

Pipping can take any where from a few minutes, a few hours, to a day.

Can you get a picture of the Pip?

What can I do

 

[JuliaChickNorris]

Not much. Just leave it be, & hope for the best.

It’s been 4 and half hours since the egg broke and the baby chick is still trying to hatch. He got his foot out.

As long it's yolk is fully absorbed, it'll be fine. But if it's struggling, you can help by removing some shell, & membrane.

More progress his beak is out now!! I’m with the membrane with coconut oil.

 

[JuliaChickNorris]

Okay.

Update this little guy is thriving.

This is the second pipe the little chick has made. Some time around 2 am possibly.

Membrane is yellow, when I see this, there's usually a humidity issue. When I get yellow membrane like that, the chicks are sticky, & need to be assistance to hatch.

So, how many hours has it been like that?
