Pipped on wrong side of air cell

[5ducks]

It will be day 30 in about 7 hours, I have three eggs left in the incubator, one of which just externally pipped on the wrong side. Not on the small end of the egg but where the air sac is smaller, it may have not even hit the air sac. Should it be able to get out of the egg on its own?

Are these duck or chickens? Can you verify with a flashlight where it pipped? It will probably pip again if it didn't hit it the first time. You could possibly chip a tiny air hole if needed.

Thank you and sorry, they are duck eggs. When I candle it, I can see shadows in the air cell but it externally pipped the other side where there isn’t an air sac. Last night I made a small safety hole for it and the other 2 just in case they needed more air.
