Muenster pipped underneath and on the pointy side! What do i do?!

You will probably need to assist the hatch on this one. Give this one about 24 hours and then you will to start helping her out. (She needs to absorb the last of the yolk and detatch from the egg yet) Here is a great article in assisted hatches... https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/

Welcome to the world little one!

I'm in such awe of Muenster. She was positioned so badly and she smoked the hatch time average with pure spunk. She bust out like the kool-aid man.

Ok, so she's the one that pipped at the wrong end AND made it out, excellent!! Usually they can't get out.

Mozzarella is still the same. I dropped another sponge and grabbed her at the same time. I picked a little of the shell away and put mineral oil on the membrane. I dont want to go further because I see veins on her membrane. At this point, I'll let nature decide from here. Looks like she might have pipped too soon and is feet over head. Toes are moving and she is absorbing egg and cheeping but I'm not feeling hopeful.

Feta, Swiss, Blue, and Asiago are pipped
