One chick hatched in nothing flat this morning. Pipped yesterday around 8 pm and this morning at 7 am it zipped and hatched within 30 minutes. One pipped at 3pm yesterday and 22 hours later it zipped 3/4 of the way but the whole egg was turning with it. I thought it was probable stuck and kept pushing for over four hours before I helped a little bit and it popped out. The membrane was tough.

Now I have others that have been pipped for at least 24 hours and nothing more happening. Temps are 99.3-100.5 and humidity runs between 65-69%. Should I be worrying yet???
 
you should be ok when my uncle incubated eggs 2 months ago his first egg pip on day 19 and didn't hatch till day 21 and when my chicks hatch the 1st time it took the 1st chick 24 hours to hatch from pip and out...

the ones that are pip right now are they moving? and peeping?
