Chirping like crazy but no progress **UPDATE**

[Rainstorm]

I have 4 of my bantams eggs in the incubator, was day 21 lastnight and 2 pipped the egg yesterday, Still just a pip today nothing different except they been chirping like crazy, How long do you wait before they need help?

Mine started peeping right after pip, then it took some of them 12 hours or more to finally finish zipping and come out. Just be patient. I had 1 hatch Thursday night, 7 yesterday by 10 AM and one today at 1:30 PM. They will work a little, then rest a lot.

At least 24 hours is my general rule, unless the activity suddenly stops- but I don't help very often.
