I've got one duck egg in the incubator from a nest of 6, the other 5 hatched fine with their mother this morning.

The egg inside pipped a couple days ago and seems to have been making steady progress but after forming a pretty solid crack a quarter way around the egg, nothing new has happened. If the other ducklings are out, this one should be ready to hatch as well.

Should I continue to wait or should I intervene?

edit: There's finally a new hole in the egg! I guess I'll wait this out.

Hatching takes nerves of steel, from what I have seen. I am not a hatcher. Perhaps @subhanalah or @Lacrystol or @70%cocoa or other hatchers may see this thread.
