Twins_HELP!!!

So here is my update i had my first egg pip this morning at 7.30am, this is not a twin but an egg that has the air cell on the side. The chick didnt pip in the air cell, how long do wait for it to zip i have read conflicting advice one says dont go past 12hrs and the other is obviously just wait till 24hrs. What do i do?

If it pipped the shell...It pipped the air cell...Keep waiting...

Fingers crossed for the twins.

Ah thank you one of the twin eggs has pipped at the wrong end too. Its driving me nuts, the one with the cell on side is at 15hrs now, makes me so anxious but i know the right thing to do is wait, it has air and the yolk so hopefully nothing else is wrong and itll zip out soon!! This whole hatch has been a trouble bunch twins and air cell on the side, surely i have some that know what to do

The best thing to do is wait....Stressful but even worse assisting too soon.....

Ok so cant sleep and as i got out one zipped opened yay!! But the first pipper at wrong out i can see now has a yellow membrane, we are now at 23hrs, do i now assist?

Ok so out of 20 i have 12 out, 5 pipped and 3 nothing so far. I actually didnt think i would get this many hatch, i prepared myself for the worst. My first pipped egg which was malpositioned with a side air sack, i left for 36hrs then i thought he must be in trouble, so i pulled the shell back a little and moistened the membrane with cotton tip for him then waited another 4 hrs. He was still chirping just not moving so i guessed he was stuck and took some more shell off around the egg then left him wrapped in moistened paper towel, it took him another 2hrs then he broke the rest of the shell himself. I was sooo proud of him!!!
