Well, you really shouldn't know when it happens (unless you hear the chick chirping inside the egg) because you need to candle to see it and during lockdown/hatch that's taboo.....(unless your hatch is late and you are checking for viability) but SallySunshine has a good video on the assisted hatching page with a silkie that has internally pipped, here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching. The external pip is what you should be seeing and that is a crack/pushed out hole in the shell.
