Chances are good the egg will survive When they pip the wrong end, though, they take a lot longer from external pip to zip, since they never got a chance to internally pip and had to both internally and externally pip at the same time. It may be 48 hours from the time of the pip before it starts to zip.

However, they usually can get themselves out fine when they pip at the wrong end, which is the good news
