Please help! Do I need to put coconut oil on pip?

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I thought it had died but then I noticed it moving.

No hatchers yet. The other one that externally pipped isn't moving or chirping. They've both been pipped for 24 hours but the one pictured did start to zip. The other did not. I have chirping and movements out of the egg beside the one I'm not sure if I should worry about

I would take out both and candle them. Candle the fat end and the pointy end. Look for veins and/or movement. I wonder why both would pip the pointy end. What would have caused two malpositions already? It's weird. How are their air cells? Actually, while you're at it, candle all of the remaining serama eggs. Hopefully they're all still alive. What day is today for them?

It's alive and cheeping. I zipped it almost all the way around and then started on the membrane. I did get to a little blood so I stopped and put it back. It's beak is clear. Humidity is at 80% and temp at 99.5. Should it be able to push out now, once it's ready?

Which egg?

Did it do that or did you? It looks great!

I can see the chick breathing now too. I'll take the other one out and candle. I think because their hatching early and Brinsea doesn't stop turning automatically until Day 19, that has them malpositioned. Today is Day 19/20 (I set them really late/early morning 7/4)

I did the zip and put it back once I got to a little blood in the 2nd membrane. Got the beak clear, but with the egg being so tiny, I couldn't get to the nostrils. I imagine they're clear if beak is

Oh, I missed the rest of your post lol. It looks perfect, great job. It will have no problem now, definitely will be able to get out on it's own with minimal effort when it's ready. Again, look great. Be careful of the wet paper towels though, they chill the chick and can weaken it, and don't really do much to raise the humidity.
