Hatch-Along - Eggs set in November, due December, anyone?

Mine is just staying there... it hasn't moved and I can't hear it peep at all... should I help it? How long does it take? It's beak isn't out of the shell, there is just a crack in it? Should I peel a tiny bit of shell away so it can breathe? Should it make noise? It hasn't yet...

It's beak isn't out of the shell yet. It can breathe through a tiny crack? Shouldn't it be peeping if it's breathing?

Awesome, chicknlove!!

Mine looks a lot like that, so I suppose it must be okay.

Now here comes the worst part of incubating eggs- the wait.
