Red Lined Crack in pipping chick

[Prophecyx1]

On the second to last day of incubation. Half seemed to have pip at the wrong end for some reason... Not too big of a worry though I dont know why. Until I saw this one. Its hard to see in photo but the crack is lined with red, like it hit a vessel. Should I not expect a good outcome for it?

It might have hit a blood vessel while pipping and bleed out, hopefully it's still alive and well only waiting for the blood to dry

Little one is still alive! It has dried up much more, and pipped a bit more so I can see the shell. Anxiety reduced. Also, any opinion on the eggs with pips being turned upside down by the other soccer players?

It might have been a thick shell and the chick wacked it really hard and it split - the chick might have a little trouble hatching so keep a close eye on it.

At what point do I help? Ive done it before, with some success, some not. My largest hurdle is the when. I still have other pips, that are newer and I dont want to open the incubator too much. Do I just wait until no more pips, and onky hatched chicks, and then help if needed, where its needed?

Give it about 12 more hours if the chick starts to zip than leave it alone. I have had dozens of eggs do this and they all went smoothly.

Let it go at its own pace. Don’t rush it. helping can sometimes make things worse.
