Chicken egg has pipped at the wrong end.

Is it the same procedure if the chicken egg is pipping at the wrong end? Is there more danger at that end? Is the yolk near the butt of the chick?

hi I recently had one that did the same thing, but I was unsure what to do so I left it for 24 hours after that I chipped a small amount of shell off it did survive but later another egg did the same thing and I decided to wait and see if it could do it on its own but it died.......
btw youtube was a great help

Thank you for replying.
I can see it's beak moving around where it pipped.
I'm going to leave it and keep an eye on it.
I'm not sure on how to help it, being at the wrong end.

It's still the same. It says that it'sa longer process when pipped at the wrong end. It's only been about 6 hours... I'm watching it closely. Another one is pipping. They're not due till tomorrow. It's midnight here now.

It was stressing so I gently helped get rid of some she'll. I sprayed warm water on the eggs being careful not to spray the hole.

Well hopefully when I wake tomorrow it will be good news - good luck!
