the chick is still wriggling and kicking but still no internal pip
i would say perhaps it just needs a little more time (based on the fact that it bled a little when i was making a pip in the air sac)
i just hope it survives. as one of my broody's will only have 1 chick and i would prefer her to have 2

Yes, it needs more time. It's probably alittle sticky which makes them take awhile longer.
I'm on day 22 with my Orpington eggs, & one is internally pipped, & I have 1 almost internally pipped.

It still has not internally piped. It's trying very hard to but not been able to yet
I'm worried that the membrane will dry out from where I made the small hole in the air sac.

If there's enough humidity in the incubator the membranes shouldn't dry out.
Maybe the chick is too large for it's shell?
This a difficult one. Is there still veins visible with blood? If not I'll say it's safe to assist the chick to hatch.

When I candle the egg?

You can do that, or remove some shell, & apply coconut oil to make the membranes clear?

OK I'll give that a try ☺

Okay. You don't have to remove alot of shell, just a small amount, & apply some coconut oil?

I candle the egg and still feel like a can see some red veins.
I will leave it a few more hours
