Keep it warm (98+) while the chick finishes using the yolk. You should have an incubator handy if you breed birds. Only about $50 in Amazon.How many days is the egg supposed to be at?
If it has been pipped it's likely developed enough, but the big issue right now is I believe I see an unabsorbed yolk. You need to prevent that being broken, which means you may need to keep the baby away from the parents. Keep it warm and let it safely absorb that yolk. One thing I just read about unabsorbed yolk in chicken chicks suggested leaving them in the bottom hwaralf of the egg to keep it protected.

Is the broader warm enough? If so, the baby bird should be out of its shell soon.I am unsure about how many days it should be at but as i said, it has been pipping for about 3-4 days (since i last checked on it) and there was no change in shell cracks. Iāve put it in a small shot glass in a brooder box with the shell still attached, wet paper towel underneath it and plastic over the top to retain some of that moisture. Itās been almost 12 hours and the majority of the egg yolk seems to have been absorbed.
If the baby is normal it will be okay. If not it won't survive but it won't be your fault so just relax and let what is meant to be happen. Can the parents feed the chick if it survives? Are you prepared to hand feed it?Is the broader warm enough? If so, the baby bird should be out of its shell soon.
