Is this normal?

Usually with my previous chicks, they’ve all hatched out of the shell by making a line across the entire egg, but this time, some of the chicks have just made giant holes. Should I be worried?

I would keep an eye om them. They may not be able to turn and zip

When should I try to intervene? They’re still like this and its been about 16 hrs since they pipped

For chickens it’s like 30 hours then help but for quails not sure probably 24 hours? Look it up maybe

I tend to help earlier than you should, but usually when they need to get out, they start to scream. That's when you need to help.
