Pipping finally on day 23!

Finally on day 23 I have seen a tiny pip but higher than air cell is . I can see cream feathers? Will this hatch out ok. Humidity is at 60%. Also will putting live chicks chirping next to incubator encourage chick to hatch?

Did your chickie make it out?

Yes it did thank God but still very wobbly still. I had to help it get it out as it was tapped inside the egg. These are my other chicks happily sunbathing today.

My next dilemna is the chick now hatched is far stronger. So today I have been giving it water and a drop of tonic nutridrop . Also tiny amounts of chick crumbs. As it is tiny and the other chicks bigger and I need to hatch out a duckling and another serama silkie chick. I have put the chick in with the other serama silkie egg as they will get to know each other in the incubator once the other egg has hatched , hopefully. Due today. How long can I leave the hatched chick in the incubator? Once the other has pipped I will not be able to open it!
