If it’s still yawning- leave it alone. If they chicks pip wrong end, then it takes twice as long to hatch. If it’s starts peeping likes it’s in distress and looks like it’s pushing to get out, then you can help. I would wait until tomorrow morning before you even start to try and assist.
I've had a few ducklings pip the wrong end, and if they didn't get out within 24 hours, they were stuck. You still could wait, just be careful.
They could very well be true. However, chicks take around 24 hours to external pip after internally pipping. And after an external pip, it could take 24 hours to zip. Since the chick didn’t get a chance to internally pip, it would take twice as long. That’s how it’s been in my experience. Had one pip during the night of the 14, didnt hatch till the morning of the 16th. No assistance.
I see, I have left them before though, and they couldn't get out, so now I just help them. But maybe it would be best to wait a while.
She hatched out perfect just slow!^ what FeatherTay said!
When they pip the wrong end, they did both internal and external pips at once. So you should factor in an extra day for the internal pip time too
Just keep an eye on it for another day. usually they will hatch out just fine on their own.
congrats!!!!
