It is now just after 9 pm.  The chick did not seem to be making any progress so I decided to help it a little.  I'm not sure if I should have or not.  Various sites on the internet say it is possible to help.  I didn't wait 24 hours because I was afraid it might not make it that long.  It is still peeping so I take that as a good sign.  What I did was very carefully and gently break the shell all around like it would have (should have).  It is now sitting on a very damp paper towel to help with the humidity, which apparently is very important to helping the chick break out.
Keep your fingers crossed!
