Yes take the top off and let it push itself out.

Will it hurt the chick?

no

Will it hurt the chick?

As long as their is no bleeding because of veining and you don't pinch or cut it then no, it won't hurt the chick.

Okay, let me get this straight:

Open the bator
Use the tweezers and poke a circle around the egg
Take the top off?

Before freeing the bottom half of the chick make sure the yolk is absorbed. If not leave it's butt in the shell.

Great news! She ended up hatching with help, but now the top shell is stuck to her head.

Use a Qtip with warm water to unstick it.

I got all of the shell off, and the other pipped egg hatched!!!!
