Yes. I would try helping the chick out. Very carefully though.

Side(or wrong end) pipped chicks usually make it fine on their own,
but it may take twice as long as a chick that externally pips via the air cell.

my chick pipped right in the middle of the egg. not even close to the air cell. First time this has happened. it was thrashing around as they do, while i was watching 2 others zip and saw a chunk of egg shell come off the bottom.(on the side, between air cell and pointy end) should i worry at all?

Ive been watching eggs pip today, and I noticed one of my eggs pipped very much on the wrong end. All it did was crack the egg, no hole yet. But I can hear a chick practically screaming inside the incubator, I can't tell which egg it is. I currently have 2 eggs pipped, plus the third one who is upsidedown.
My last hatch, I had 2 malpositioned chicks that couldn't hatch by themselves and died, but they never pipped.
Since this one pipped, is he on the right track? Should I do something? I can raise/lower humidity with a click of a button without opening the incubator, should I change the humidity? It's set between 63% and 67% right now. I had it higher but it fogged up the whole thing and I couldn't see inside so I lowered it to where it is now.
As I was typing this the screaming stopped.
I don't know how long this egg has been pipped, but it's only been a few hours at the most. I know to give them at least 18-24hrs, I just want to do whatever I can to give this little guy a shot.

Also, what causes malposition? I had the eggs fat side up the whole time, then at lockdown I layed them on their sides like I've read you're supposed to do. Since this is now my 3rd malposition in 2 hatches, could I be doing something wrong?

I have a chick Who pipped last morning and is Racing the wrong way, there is little to No progress, its stil alive and pipping but it pipped on day 19 so i dont know if i should leave hum longer

If it's breathing leave it be, it can take 48 hours if not pipped thru the aircell.
