Hatching eggs are Pipping, is there something wrong?

If you take a bunch of wet paper towels and stick them into your incubator the humidity will be fine if you chose to open it

How long since it pipped? That kind of looks like unabsorbed yoke to me

It's only been about 2 hours since I saw its beak break out. I haven't heard any peeping, but the last hatch one of the eggs took 24 hours before he even zipped. I'll keep an eye out.

Have you seen any more movement or noise?

I don't hear anything but I thought I saw some movement. It's hard to tell, the hole is not big.

I just saw the beak come through again. Pretty forceful too. Maybe it’ll be all right.

Oh that is great news!! If it is still alive, then I would leave it alone. If it doesn’t zip for 12 hours, I'd assist.

It's still trying to break out, but that liquid is still dripping. But I turned it up a little so gravity lets it drip out and down instead of back inside. Hopefully, it won't dry up. Humidity is at 69%. I'm going to monitor it and hope for the best.

That idea is good, but do you think that it being in the position might make it harder for the chick to hatch? Just kinda an un-natural position.

It’s not moved too much just up enough to no being face down. The hole is much larger than in the beginning.

Sorry, but I’m not that experienced with hatching problems. Here is the incubation and hatching forum if you want to post there for more opinions:
