Hello everyone

...This is my first time here and hatching eggs as well and I have a few questions/concerns I'm hoping some help with

My daughter is hatching eggs for a school project and this morning one of the eggs started breaking through around 10:45am. As of right now it doesn't seem to have made much progress since this morning, but I can see it moving around and it keeps rocking the egg. My question is: how long does it take for a baby chick to get out of its shell? I have attached a picture of its progress

Thanks for your help

Thank You for your reply

The incubator was provided by her teacher and we have been following the manufacturer's guideline so I'm not sure what the humidity is in the incubator. It is a Brinsea egg incubator and we have kept the water lever above the divider as it is instructed for the last couple of days.
