Pip but no zip

[HairyRedFairy]

Hello, I have a chick in the incubator that pipped, and it has been about 24 hours with no progress at all. Unlike my others I cannot see a beak, and there has been no movement. I haven't opened the incubator at all, and there isn't any movement when I chirp at it (I can imitate chick whistles to the point that my husband can't tell if it's me or the chicks) it doesn't do anything at all. I know they take can take 24-48 to zip, but as I said this one haven't progressed in the slightest. I'm thinking it may have died, as the hole it made is just the size of a beak, but like I said I can't see a beak at all. No signs of it trying at all.

At this point there is not much you can do. I have had done chicks pip and take 48 hrs before zipping and I was sure it was dead. All you can really do is wait. I wouldn't lose hope until day 25-26.
Good luck and I hope it hatches!
