EMERGENCY HELP PLEASE!!!

The large pip looks like it might be in the narrow end.

I don't even know what that means. (The air cell part.) Haha. I'm in over my head!!

That egg is almost a perfect oval, but the pip is in the right place near the round end.

Should I assist soon, or wait?

Ok get a warm wet cloth and cradle the egg in it. Using some tweezers gently chip bits of the shell around the egg like zipping. Leave the membrane intact. If you see blood use a wet qtip apply gentle pressure and put back into the bator. This can take some time. You are not alone.

You are doing great you have 2 little cuties out. If it wasn't for you they probably wouldn't have made it.

It's 2am here and I may fall asleep. But you can use this article for assisted hatching, it is excellent. Remember there is no rush.

I'd give it more time to try to work out on its own, if its still chirping strong. 24 hours is not uncommon, especially with the temp fluctuations it has experienced.

How it going?????

I am no help but my heart is racing for you.....

Looked a little closer, I can see where the membrane is stuck to her. Concentrate on getting that moistened up, if you can. If you end up helping her zip off the air cell end (fat end), let her kick herself out of the rest of the way.
