"Pipping" refers to the tiny hole or crack that the chick makes in the shell when it first begins to hatch. There is usually a rest interval then before the chick makes its circular pattern of breakage around the eggshell so that it can emerge from the egg (referred to on BYC as "zipping").

Pipping
means when they first make a hole in the egg...sometimes you just see a crack.

Zipping
means that they are opening the egg all around...much like a zipper.

Hope that helps.
Good luck on your hatch
