Chickens still not pipping!

I also need to know…is it ok if the chick is moving around the other eggs?
Yes they do move them a bit
Once the chick is up running around I move mine to the brooder
They can tend to try to help hatch on occasions by pecking the egg when others are not ready to zip yet
 
They can hatch at day 25 occasionally like my eggs right now they hatched day 23 and some still haven't even pipped, but idk if they will pip, you and me are in the same boat my friend. Just be patient it will hopefully pay off
I've had a few pip out at day 23-24. I was about to shut the incubator down when that happened and something told me to candle one last time. The chicks beak was near the air sac so I very carefully put it down and it pipped later that day. Little fluffy butt is a couple days younger and bit smaller but has caught up to the others in the brooder in terms of feathering out and was accepted immediately by it's siblings despite having to be separated because of illness initially. I ran it in a second brooder where it could hear the others. It's not a linear science. I still come in with lots of questions after 2 years of hatches. 💜
