This first opening of a hole in the shell is called peeping and happens on day 21. Most chicks take anywhere from 1 hour up to 24 hours to complete the task. The humidity in the incubator must be very high (85%) to allow moisture between the chick and the inner shell.

What helps chicks get out of shells?
At the tip of a chicks beak is a small sharp bump called the egg tooth. The chick uses this "tooth" to put pressure in the shell from the inside making a small hole for air and then a series of cracks. This process can take 24 hours or more. The chick comes out of the shell with this egg tooth intact but it soon is absorbed as the beak grows and the chick get older.
