Zipped, chirping, but not hatching

[cute chicks here]

I have a chick that had zipped around noon or one oclock yesterday and still hasn't made it way out. Should I seperate the egg halves alittle. the mother hen is still sitting on it

How long has baby been zipping for ?
They can rest a little before fully finishing and pushing out
Often it’s 24 or less after the external pip

24 hrs?

24 hrs?

Yes.

What if they don't zip?

What if they don't zip?

They should start zipping withing 24hrs of an external pip. The time line is.
-internal pip
-external pip (anywhere between 6-24 hrs usually)
-zip (usually under 24hrs after external pip but I would wait 36hrs after external pip to help)
-hatch (once they start zipping they will not stop for more than 30 seconds until they hatch)
Hope this helps you with your hatch.
I would not help if you do not know what you are doing if you want to help do a lot of research before trying to help it.

It also depends greatly on what you are hatching as I know ducks take a lot longer in this process.

So a stupid question. How long do chickens stay fertilized after being with a rooster. They are no longer being boarded at my friends house where there was a rooster.

Thank you. I normally research before I get something these were handed to me because my chick was sitting on them. ️we are learning! They started hatching they day after I picked up my chickens from a farm I board them at for the winter. So here we are.
