Chick not chirping

[Serendipi]

Hi

I've had 4 healthy chicks hatch in this batch of eggs so far. I have one egg that has both and internal and external pip - the strange thing is that it hasn't cheeped at all.

Could something be wrong with it? Why isn't it noisy? Will it mean it's a weak chick?

I have 4 more eggs that need to hatch - hopefully, there are two solid looking ones in the hatching incubator that I don't think are viable. I'm a first time egg hatcher...

Any advice or help is gratefully received

Thank you.

Has it made any more progress on pipping? If not I would say the chick has likely passed away. If it is continuing to pip, then I'm not completely sure, I've never had a silent hatcher before! Hopefully someone else can give you some more insight.

It's still moving and pipping... it's just silent

HI, Just leave it alone................they do not all chirp when hatching.
Actually, most of mine don't. Often we cause more problems by helping...............
Might be silent because it is tired................
