How exciting!  Good luck with the hatch.  :D  They can sometimes take up to 48 hours between pipping and hatching so I don't think you have anything to worry about.  I don't know about the egg pipping underneath because I am not an expert on hatching from an incubator (I am assuming you are using an incubator rather than letting a broody hen hatch the eggs).  My instinct would be to leave it.  I'm sure someone with more experience will be along to advise you.   Remember that photos are a statutory requirement of this forum  :D
