It means the chick has chipped away at the shell enough to cause a small crack.

Internal pip means the chick has broken thru the air cell for its first breath of air. You can usually hear them peeping inside the egg at this point.

External pip means the chick has cracked the shell and getting ready to emerge from the egg.
