Help please

Ok, I will do the small safety hole and then see what happens from there. Should I help it if no progress by this time tomorrow? Or would it need more time?

Can be a tough decision. But if the air cell is good size, I'd try to give it a full 24 hours, before further assisting.

Well, checked on it this morning and it died. I could hear it peeping at 3:30 this morning but by 9am, nothing. Thanks yall for the help.

So sorry. Alot of times, I've found that hens leave them for a reason that they can sense, and we just don't know. I think it's worth trying to save the leftovers, but many times they don't make it. So I'm sure it wasn't your fault.
