Is it normal for a peeped chick to stay still?

[Oldegarlicshnapp]

Can you see the beak moving like it's breathing at least?

Yeah, it’s lively. Opening its mouth, sticking its tongue out occansionally, fidgeting everything but the beak, and chirping at times

Yes, chicks will take breaks while hatching. Give it time. Though next time I suggest you give it at least twelve hours after pip before interfereing.

That’s reassuring, I’ve got a timer on for 24

it looks to me like the chick may have pipped just below the air cell, but don't panic. Just don't intervene anymore, as there are lots of blood vessels under the shell near baby. He needs to rest and absorb, then he should continue. If 18-24 hours after the external pip appeared- there is no progress- I'd urge you to have a little read of this hatching guide which always helps.
For now, as others have already said, wait. Never assist further when the chick is yawning or making little chewing motions with the beak, as this means they're absorbing yolk. And don't assist further if there are blood vessels.
Hoping he makes progress soon!

I love forums for information like this! That’s exactly what it’s doing, so I’m glad I can match things together. It’s been 8 hours so far without movement.
Do you think the chick will be able to twist around to hatch although it’s upside down?

There's a good chance he will be able to do it on his own, sometimes they do need help, but it has to be slow, bit by bit due to blood vessels being in the way. For now you're okay to wait and hopefully he will manage on his own!
When you say no movement, do you mean no progress breaking shell? Is he still peeping, yawning/chewing?

One very important thing not mentioned yet is that you need to have your humidity up very high with an open egg like this, or it runs the risk of drying out. When the membrane dries out, it turns papery and sticks to the chick, preventing the chick from moving and hatching fully. I've had chicks dry out even with the humidity up above 80-90% because the egg sat partially open for too long, when they weren't progressing. Rub some coconut oil on the exposed membrane to keep it from drying out, and keep a close eye on the chick and any signs that the membrane might be starting to dry out and look papery.

Yeah no progress, but he’s still swallowing and now what looks like yawning

Like suggested above, humidity needs to be brought way up to prevent drying out. What's it at now??

It’s at 65% with it being 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit. I put coconut oil on it’s exposed skin, and as much as I could above and below the tissue I’m able to see

It’s still swallowing and makes noise when I lubricate it

Be patient. Don't help until after it stops making yawning motions. The 24-48 hours is just the time that normally takes. I have had a chick pip this way. It hatched on their own, but it took longer than its hatch mates. Thanks to your chip it has plenty of air, so no rush to get it out of the shell.

 

[Oldegarlicshnapp]

It pushed off a big piece of shell, so I ripped a little tissue that had no veins. I’ve lubricated it well with coconut oil at this new area.
Though when I saw it’s eye open, it looked like the dead fetuses I’ve been getting. I’m wondering if that’s normal or if it’s blind?
But anyways I’m glad it’s making progress
