YAY! I have the same

One pip on Day 20, I thought my eggs were all dead but it appears there is life in them yet, lol. Who knows if they will make it out but it's a start! I had my humidity down really low in an attempt to try and shrink the air cells before pipping, so now I'm trying to raise it up to around 60% now that I've got a pip. Hopefully it's not shrink wrapped already...

Don't worry, I think if they've already started zipping there's a good chance they will go all the way. I *believe* shrink wrapping wouldn't allow them to zip at all. You can't put the humidity up any higher, just hang in there!!! If they stall for several hours and then seem to be pushing and not getting out, then you can start worrying

That is what happened with my little Ameraucana I assisted. She didn't zip at all and was trying and trying to zip and that's how I could tell she was stuck. Yours are probably just resting...

the membrane is really white, on all 5!!! the inner one!

Maybe you can try moistening it. I actually fastened a makeshift tool, a long handled cooking spoon with a q-tip taped to the end, and I can fit it through the vent hole. I've been moistening the membrane at the pip hole of my one pip since the humidity was so low when it first pipped. Maybe you can try something like that, or mist them? Can you take a pic?
