Chick pipping

Our take

Hey there, fellow chicken enthusiast! It sounds like you're in the midst of an egg-citing moment with your incubating eggs. Pipping, that delightful first sign of life, can definitely stir up a mix of emotions, especially for those new to the hatching game. Since you noticed some shell fragments and a small tear in the membrane after 24 hours, you're on the right track—progress can vary from egg to egg! It's great that you're hearing chirping and seeing movement in the others; that’s a good sign of anticipation. Just remember, patience is key in this cluck-tastic journey! Feel free to share more updates and pictures as you navigate this hatching adventure. Your feathered friends are on their way to joining the world!

So I’m really new to this but yesterday morning I noticed one of my 8 eggs started pipping. Today coming up in 24 hours in a few minutes I’m not sure if the progress it has made is normal? I don’t see any sign of a zip just pieces of shell broke off and a small tear in the membrane. Any info of advice would be much appreciated. I will attach a pic I took at 8 am yesterday morning and one I just now took and post. Thanks in advance. It’s day 21 and this is the only one pipping so far but I hear chirping and see the other eggs moving frequently yesterday.
