Cracked egg

[AmberAres222]

I have been incubating eggs that should have hatched yesterday, but only one did. So the egg in the picture, can someone tell if the crack is from a chick trying to come out or is it from the 1 duck that hatched knocking the eggs together? The egg of concern is the greener looking one. And if the eggs don't hatch today or tomorrow this there anything I can do? Thank you!

That is a pip.

It looks like it is a pip.

Update us if its made any progress. Glad your chick is pipping!

So is it normal that the pip/ cracks haven't gotten any bigger? It doesn't seem like the chick has tried any more to get out

I have had some take over 24 hours. They rest and absorb more nutrients.

Thank you!

So I'm kinda impatient and the crack still hasn't made any progress, how long do they rest for? Should I eventually help it?

Also before lockdown all my eggs looked to be about at the same progress and all has veins and moving embryos, so can anyone guess as to why only 1 hatched and only 1 other has tried to pip?

Different moms, different spot in incubator Bator, differ nutrients. Lots of factors.
