Hi everyone! I'm currently hatching a batch of 16 chicken eggs. I have 5 chicks who have successfully hatched, and 6 eggs which are pipped or partially unzipped. Today is day 20 and tomorrow is day 21. Two of those eggs though, have been pipped for over 24 hours. Both chicks were very active today and could be heard and seen though the hole in the egg. You can see their beaks poking out. However, those were my second and third eggs to pip, and are now being surpassed by other chicks. It's been maybe 30 hours since they pipped. Should I assist with their hatch? Should I leave them? I don't really want to start digging around in the incubator with the others still doing their thing! Help!!
