Hi y'all,
My chick (un-hatched) is under his mommy and has started peeping from in the egg, but hasn't yet made a pip hole. How long until he should pip? I am really worried that he may burst his air-bubble and die in the egg (i'm paranoid) and it's been a while since i've hatched some eggs under a hen, so I just need a refresher on what i'm supposed to do.. How long does it usually take for them to pip after they've started making noise?
