Helping pipped egg

[TK acre]

This is our first time hatching anything and we've got peafowl eggs. They were due to hatch yesterday. 1 hatched Monday, 1 hatched yesterday and 2 others pipped yesterday morning. The one hatched over night but the other pip still looks the same 36 hours later. I know the first one bumped the other eggs around a good bit before we took him from the incubator. At what point do you touch the egg to see if there's anything to do to save? We were quick removing the others after they were in there 24 hours and the humidity has stayed 65-70% through lockdown and hatch.

We started out with 5. 3 have hatched, 1 hasn't done anything, and the 5th is the pipped one in question.

Peel away a little of the shell and see what the membrane looks like. He may have gotten shrink-wrapped and could possibly need help. Do you here him cheeping still?

Ok, when we’re they due to hatch? If it’s long past hatch date, I’d go ahead and assist. You can start by putting a small hole in the egg, if you see blood then stop

Also, welcome to BYC!

We haven't heard any of them cheeping before they hatched.

I'd investigate. Quickly take the egg out of the incubator to candle. Do you still see movement? Peel away a little of the shell were the pip is. What color is it? Does it look moist and white-pale yellow or dry-yellow-brown?

Looks white and dry
