HELP please! Internal pip 25 hours ago, no external pip

[Pyxis]

Thanks so much! I have to find supplies to do this. Any suggestion on what would work in a pinch? I have those pins that youd use in sewing, will that work? And if so, do I do just a hole the size of the pin prick?

A drill bit or a screw work best, do you have either of those handy?

Yes I have a screw. Just one poke, and dont widen the hole right? Any tips on actually doing it? I am a big worry wort, it wont crack the entire egg right?

Also, should I add warm wet paper towels or sponge after I do this?

Please know that Pyxis is fantastic at this. She helped me with my first goose egg last July. And my 2 that just hatched about a month ago.
The first time she had me do an emergency hole I was a nervous wreck but she stuck with me and talked me through it. Now its kinda second nature when needed.

That makes me feel so much better! I am definitely a nervous wreck!! Any tips at all is greatly appreciated!

You apply gentle pressure and twist it back and forth. Eventually it will make a hole. Goose eggs are tough, so it might take some time. It won't crack the entire egg

Thank yall SO MUCH. What upping humidity now? The hatching guide says not to up the humidity until external pip, but this would now be considered an external pip right?
