Hatching egg, to help or not to help

[AMaggio]

Hi all, I'm hatching eggs naturally with a broody hen but one baby is seemingly having troubles getting through his egg. Within 24 hrs of my noticing the little hole, not just a pip but it broke through the shell and took a breath, one sibling has nearly completely emerged and it hadn't appeared to do anything. Im trying not to jump in but at what point do i try and assist. I know how to assist carefully, i just need to know when is the little guy's life in danger. Mama is still sitting on him but will get up occasionally to make sure the other hatchlings are eating and drinking. They're in a small enclosed coop

I would wait. I have been worried about the same thing in my chick hatching when they take a while, but usually they get out fine! I would say if after 2 days and no progress i would intervene.

Is it still chirping? Sometimes it can take a little longer than 24hours to hatch
