patients is a must when hatching, My first hatch was last year and I still pace the floor on hatch day. Good luck

Thank you, im pacing but alittle more calm this time.

My first hatch was about 5 years ago.....AND I get a hen to do it for me - but I still can't relax.
Enjoy your hatching, and ~try~ not to worry too much.
I'm sure there will be life soon.

Hopefully one day i can leave it up to the hen too. Lol

I wouldn't be worrying at this stage.
Photos would help though as its kind of hard to tell where you mean the pip is.
Chicks do pip at the pointy end. And they do fine.

I posted a pic, not sure if my replies are going with the comments, im still figuring this out lol

It's kind of hard to tell which end that is.
That looks like a very long shaped egg.
It looks like it's pipped the more rounded end. Is that correct? If so, that's fine.
Keep him in the bator and see how he does.

I think I misunderstood you at first.

You're worried because the chick pipped at the round end, correct?
That is completely natural, they are supposed to pip that end.
Although they often do fine if they pip at a different place.
Don't worry, put him back and just wait.
