Help!! Live hatching

[viacky]

I've got a chick hatching underneath a broody at the moment, I could hear loads of chirping so decided to take a look

I pulled it out just quick enough to take a pic then momma tucked it straight back under. It looks as though it's pipped but somehow chipped a giant bit of shell off! Does this look ok? I'm scared the chick is going to get stuck.
Chick is alive and chirping like crazy!

Personally if it were me, I’d put a little hole where her beak is... that’s just me! As long as she’s chirping , good sign! Good luck!!

Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure where the beak is, and I don't want to mess too much incase the chick gets shrink wrapped. I can definitely see a hole in the membrane, so she won't suffocate I hope

So I flicked a tiny bit of egg away where I thought the beak was, but nothing! but the membrane is still nice and moist, so I'm just gunna wait and see!
