Chirping
I've been hatching some Black Copper Maran and Isbar eggs from a local breeder.
My parents helped out with a couple of the Isbar chicks as I was unavailable however the BCM chicks or at least one in particular appears to be having some trouble getting out of the egg:

We started hearing them chirping last night at about midnight. They could have been chirping earlier or it could have been the other eggs. It is about 6:30 currently (>18 hours have passed)
My understanding is that I need to wait at least 24 hours before helping them however I wanted to check in and see if ya'll had any advice. Like, how do I help? Do I chip at the egg?
Edit:
Incubator Used: Brinsea Mini v2 Advanced
Temp.: 99.6 F

I took this video at about 10 AM Arizona Time:
One of the BCMs did hatch. The other appeared to have been turned by one of the other chicks.
- Question: Do I turn it back?
The other BCM appears to have had little progress. While the 4th is assumed to be a dud/infertile. As it doesn't appear to be having any marking or noises. I plan to give it another week, alongside the other Isbar egg.

I don't know why he/she would say such a thing, plenty exist. Many times they can be the family favorite.
