Why not? I've done it many times with no issues. Once the chick breaks the egg and there's a peep hole there's not a n issue To help and never lost a single one. not one. I'm very well versed in that, chickens, quail, pheasants, ducks...You can not just step straight in and help until the right time or the chicks will be killed. It is not as simple as just helping the chick out of the egg- this in itself is quite a serious and dangerous process if you do not take your time or if you start too soon and do not know what to look out for.
