Internal pip 2 days ago. No external yet. Intervene?

Good news! Just be patient... they don't all external pip at same time either... others still active, peeping?

Kinda. No peeping. I added some more moisture to get the humidity back up (was at 60% when I got up) and listened to each egg. There was definitely a lot of movement and scraping noises. The egg with the pip is rocking around though. Very active. I didn't want to touch that one.

As long as there is movement/activity they should be fine... they tend to quiet down as the concentrate on absorbing yolk... 60% shouldn't have caused any issues, that's still in proper range, just fyi...

So here's a question I hadn't really considered. When I put in the safety holes, the 48 hour timer started before I'd need to look at intervening further. With the duck that did its own external pip, is it safe to assume that that one will require at least 48 hours before intervention from the time of its external pip (not my safety hole)?
