I've got an egg that has pipped but the hatchling has still not emerged. The twin to the egg hatched last friday. It's wed and still no hatchling on egg B. Has anyone every had this happen and if so, at what point do I need to think about helping it out? I know it's still alive as I've seen the egg move. She just doesn't want to come out!

Well two days after posting this, I decided to open the egg to investigate any movement or anything. The hatchling had cut the egg about half of what it would take to exit. I opened it and found the hatchling had died. From the time that it "pipped" to the time that I opened it, it had been 7 days. I had an egg hatch the day that this one "pipped", the other hatchling had moved this egg and when I went to set it right side up, I noticed it moved when I touched it. That's when I noticed it had "pipped". I guess I scared it and it just decided not to hatch after all. Leason learned.
