Does this hatching egg need intervention?

[neriokas22]

This is my first ever time hatching chicks and I'm a little worried about this one. So from the reading I've done it seems like this chick has pipped at the wrong side of the egg. It pipped about 24 hours ago and hasn't made a lot of progress. The hole has gotten a little bigger but that's all of the progress it has made in 24 hours between the 2 pictures. To be fair this one pipped on day 20 and today is officially day 21. Anyone have any idea if it's time for me to try to intervene or should I just keep letting nature do it's thing for now?

I would start.

Yes, help this baby. Gently use tweezers and break off small pieces of shell around the hole, trying not to puncture the membrane. Take off the whole “pointy” end of the egg. Wet down the membrane with warm water or coconut oil. If there are large veins, don’t tear it. But if the veins are mostly absorbed and not visible when wet, gently tear a bit starting where the chick pipped. Try to allow for the head and shoulders to be free. Then put the egg back in the incubator and hopefully the chick can push out on her own.

If at any time blood starts coming out, put cornstarch on that spot and take a break from assisting, placing the egg back in the incubator.

Well just as I was almost ready to start helping it out it started making some progress and now just a few hours later I think it's almost out!!!
