Help!! Peachick externally pipped in middle of egg!

Pics
If it broke more shell off on its own, then it is likely trying to zip. That’s a good sign! There are often small blood vessels that don’t get absorbed, so a little blood is not a definite sign of impending death. I’d love to see beneath that membrane. Have you seen a beak yet?
Well I left them alone in pitch dark room for 2 hours so the others couldn’t pick at th open egg & came back just now to a beak sticking out! I put a whip with coconut oil up to through the vent hole to moisten it’s membrane & the beak came out. So it’s still alive! Not zipping yet. Just beak there resting, no zipping chewing movements. I’m pointing at the beak with atop in photo.

Very good!
Well she didn’t make it. I woke up 7 am this morning & she was dead with her beak still out but no longer moving. She must not have been positioned to be able to zip. Had I known I would have intervened at 24 hours but it’s not something that could have been known. 😚 I’ve got 11 other healthy hatchers.

So sorry! Glad you did get some healthy ones though! Share pics if you get a chance.
 
I am confused, you said they were hatching on day 21? That is at least five days early. Anytime a beak is sticking out of the shell it can no longer chip and zip.
These are chicken eggs, the poster replied here because this is where they found helpful advice.
