Ok. Thanks so much. I’m afraid it will be doing its thing over night so I will see where it is in the morning. I now have 3 hatched and 2 more of the remaining 19 zipping now.Looking at the size of the pip, I'd feel comfortable waiting. Keep in mind that since it didn't use the air cell, it "skipped" the internal pip part of the process, so it may take a little longer to start to zip. As close to the tip as it is, I would watch it closely when it does start to zip, it could have a little trouble turning inside the egg, so be ready to help it finish zipping if it gets stuck. But I'd wait for it to start on its own.
