I don't know if my chick is alive or not?

yeah it is day 22 and has been over 4 ours but I can't find the head the spot that is open is like the back
4 hrs for which egg, which process? 24 hrs for PIP (smaller hole - your red ink egg) and min 4 hrs for a distressed zip - your zip pic looks pretty good. I'd go to bed, read more on what happens inside the egg during the pip and zip phases, and then learn more about assisting safely. In the morning, i bet you have 2 out, drying off and new pips to watch til the next morning when all are dry and no pips to endanger by opening it.
 
When you say day 22... did you count the day you put them into the bator as Day 1 or Day 0?

ETA: This is something I've been trying to track with new hatchers, just for my own curiosity sake when someone is worried about late hatches and when they should assist. Please follow any directions you're being given, as I have no hands on incubator experience.
 
One of the eggs hatched!:wee
