I have nine chicken eggs. 7 pipped between noon yesterday and through last night. Five have hatched. Two are working on it. Two have not externally pipped. I candled the latter two. One is not moving. No shadows in the air cell. The second is moving though. im guessing it internally pipped because the membrane appears to be drawn down. I'm not sure how to be positive nor do I know how long it's been since its internal pip.

I don't want this last one that's still alive to die. The other eggs all pipped within about 12 hours of each other from 12 to 24 hours ago. How long should I let this one go before I give him an exterbal pip in relation to the others, given I have no idea when it internally pipped?
