Well no progress has been made. I havn't even seeen the chick try at all, but there is a pip. Does this mean it needs help? Or should I wait and continue to see if it'll start back up again?

Dont help it...it can be like this( a star pip) for minutes , many hours even almost a day.. If you help you can kill it.Veins have to dry up and the yok absorb while they try and get out. They will bleed to death if open too soon. Its pipping right where it should so ...have patiences! Takes a long time to start to zip and then a long time with rests inbetween to hatch out.HARD WORK. Sometimes they sleep for hours while hatching . Usually mine pip, say in the afternoon, and then hatch after midnight or morning when i get up...but some i have had pipped zipped and were out before i even saw the pip! All different. Dont open youbator though when thye have pipped as he can shrink wrap!! If you HAVE to do it do it really fast and make sure your humidiity is up high side of what you are using before you open so it doesnt drop too low and shink them. GOOD LUCK on Baby!!!
