Hi all. Not chickens but baby Japanese quails. Have two eggs. One pipped day 21 (yesterday) morning but has not zipped. This was about 29/30 hrs ago. Is it time to intervene. It’s peeping a bit and pipping intermittently. There was a small amount of dried blood on the membrane. Thx

Eggs in a forced air incubator

At about 34 hours I peeled back some shell and slightly opened hole in membrane around chicks beak and wing/head. When I took him out to check on him an hour and a half later he hatched in my hand! Now just waiting to see if his constant peeping will encourage egg 2 to pip some more
