Chirping
I'm not hearing anything from it how long do they usually go in between pips! I can see it's little beak through the hole (or maybe it's the egg tooth)and it is moving every once in awhile.

The membrane looks dry. It's not white anymore but a cream colour Does that mean it is too dry already?I find a list of pip times very useful. I label my eggs so that I can chronicle them as they pip and hatch, and it helps me determine when to assist, if necessary.
OK thank you I will keep watching!As long as you see movement, I don't think its time to help yet. Its only been about 12 hours, right?
Cream color could mean its starting to get dry, but sitting up like it is, that doesn't surprise me. If it continues to turn more toward brown color, that will be when you may need to assist.
I can tell you for sure... you do not want that baby out of the shell until the yolk is fully absorbed. Hang in there!
Do I help him out!? Do I lay the egg on it's side? Ahhh so excited!!!As long as you see movement, I don't think its time to help yet. Its only been about 12 hours, right?
