It pushed the membrane a bit and it started cheeping loudly. Please help!
"everything goes normally, the chick’s beak will first break through the membrane into the air cell (internal pip), then it will make the external pip through the shell sometime after that. During this time, the chick’s lungs are taking over respiratory function. It is not unusual for the chick to sit for a couple of days without any further changes. This is the time that overanxious aviculturists often can’t resist the urge to assist the hatching process but end up injuring the chick instead. Just prior to emerging, the chick will draw the remaining yolk into its abdomen, and the blood vessels will recede. When the time is right, the chick will pip and rotate around the circumference of the egg in about 15-20 minutes. With a couple of great heaves, called surge pips, the chick will then push off the cap of the egg and emerge. Because nothing seems to be happening before the chick rotates, many people mistakenly believe the chick is stuck and needs help."
 
They open and close their mouths to stimulate the yolk absorption. I don't know abt chirping - mb it likes music w/it's food? 😁 if it's able to breath ok and you've got your heat and humidity set, I'd just let her do her thing. She's got blood vessels and yolk to absorb before she makes an entrance
