This is my first time incubating eggs, I have 1 egg hatching right now which I first noticed had pipped about 8am today(British time) its got as far as the beak poking through the she'll but has been like that for probably the last five hours and not made any progress! I know it takes time but the chick now has fluidy bubbles coming out of its nasal passages and to me it looks like it is gasping for breath through its mouth and this is every few seconds! Its been like this for about an hour and a half. I'm too scared to try help it in case I kill it but don't want to find it dead in the morning. Is it normal for them to be fluidy and doing this?
