Keep an eye on when it starts to internally pip, you amy have to remove the tape so it can hatch, or peel it back as it begins to externally pip. Good luck! Hope the experts chime in soon.

Be careful at hatch, the chick will not be able to break through the tape over the air cell, so it will make it very difficult for him to externally pip. @MGG, @shawluvsbirds do you think she should take the tape off after the chick internally pips? Or is that a bad idea?

Thank u. I will keep him under observation. I think i should remove tape on day 20 or before it start pips...!

Pay close attention to when he begins to internal pip, then maybe peel back the tape over the air cell, so that he can pip through the shell without the tap in the way. How is he this morning?

Okay, when you can start hearing little tiny pips, but nothing pipping yet, start to peel back the tape. @MGG @shawluvsbirds what do you think?

It looks like the entire air cell end is covered in nail polish and tape.
Yes I think you will have to remove the tape once it starts trying to hatch. Probably also be prepared to assist. If it were mine I would probably just remove the part of the air cell and of the egg once it internally pips. Then you can apply Vaseline, coconut oil or Neosporin to the internal membrane to keep it moist and monitor its progress from there.
It should still be able to turn and zip out of the egg with the air cell end opened up, as long as the membrane does not dry out and get stuck to the chick.

Btw..I am no expert.
I don't even have chickens
I've done some assisted hatching on call duck eggs and that is the extent of my limited experience.

Cracked eggs set on day 1 (depending on the crack) make it to day 10. If cracked on day 10, (depending on the crack) they have a better chance of hatching.

Not a fan of tape, but it is on, I say leave it on.
