Well, I hate to give advice when I can't see the situation but if it were me I would have pulled it out and popped off the cap and lifted it's head up. If the cap opening is too small (and I have had that to happen a few times with ducklings) then I open it more for it and leave it. If it has pipped all the way around then you are safe it get it out of the shell because as it spins around in the shell it is actually cutting off the blood supply and is absorbing the yolk as it turns.
If it were me, I would take it out and pop it out of the shell. Especially if it is one of Daisey's!
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I don't know what others would do, but I would help him out. Once they crack the shell, the membrane can dry out and actually shrink wrap them into the egg. If you start breaking small pieces of the shell away and don't see fresh, red blood running then he is ready to get out but probably can't get out on his own. That's just my two cents. Best of luck!

Nah, leave them in the hatcher until you get home tomorrow. They will enjoy the heat. They need sleep. Ah, to be a baby again!

You and Jackie can have BLRW hatching at the same time! She came and picked a few BLRW eggs up from me for her broody hens. I couldn't get her to take more though!
Oh, the madness!
