Hi!
This is my first post but I need help!
This chick has been pipped since 4/29 around 7p. He started unzipping at 12p on 4/30. He has looked like this since 4pm on 4/30.
What should I do? Leave her be or what? I have 4 other eggs pipped right now.
Humidity is 75% ( I know it’s high I just can’t get it to go down and I’m afraid to open it)

. Other chicks have pipped in the incubator.
 
I would gently start assisting. If I saw active blood vessels or encountered bleeding, I would then stop. A lot depends upon day of incubation also. Are you at 21 days +?

Yeah, finish the zip and let it out. If you see any active blood vessels put it back amd wait a few hours, it's not ready. What day of incubation is it? Your humidity is fine at 75%. Just don't let it go over 80. I always set mine at 75% for lockdown.
