How long can it take from pip to zip

Not sure if I would attempt this at all seeing you will have to open the incubator and let out the humidity you have in there. Never a good thing to do after the initial pips. Common mistake a lot make and then it makes it harder for the chicks to get out because they get more and more dried out each time it's opened. I would just let it be and if its not able to hatch on its own It prob wouldn't make it anyhow. I have helped some of mine out but all had some sort of prob. One was not fertile (rooster, he is still living) and the others died pretty early in age

its a silkie egg.....the last one tht i helped died 2 days after i helped it. i hate this part of hatching makes me never wanna do it ever again.

I agree... I seem to have had better luck with my cabinet incubator. I'm guessing because I have better control of the temp and humidity. What kind do you have?

So how long can it take max? I have a guy was pipped yesterday at this time when we moved him to the hatching incubator.. and no sing of progress. Obviously worried, but don't want to upset the other two new pips with humidity adjustments..

What to do, over 24 hours now and no zipping....
