That's great. I would keep an eye on it and put it on the clock. Meaning to take note of the time it tried to pip and if no progress in 24-30 hours, maybe make the hole a little bigger and/or pick the wax off. Then put it back to do the zipping on its own.

Yes ditto, awesome. I wouldnt touch or try to open the shell, just get the wax off if necessart like the previous poster mentioned.

It depends on how many hours since hatch. Sometimes you have chicks that are wiped out after hatch and feet can look curled for a few hours and then flatten out. Sometimes chicks hatch and are just roaring to go and looking for trouble, climbing all over the incubator! So how many hours was it for the tires little one? And congrats on the cracked hatcher! That's great news!
