The mommas might be able to hear before we can, but I've heard the peeps on day 19 before in my bator. I can't hear a thing outside at the coop though.

  I usually notice the peeping eggs around day 19

    I'm always shocked how people take something typed on a forum so personally :) If I say it here I have done it. No Bull poop from me. I'm not arguing, I'm stating what I see in MY flock of 10 years.I'm NOT P.C. If that offends please just block me :)

Bobbie & Stony- thanks! I am on day 17 and I could swear I heard some soft peeping coming from Summers nest. She was on it at the time so there is the possibility it was her but the sounds were so soft and high pitched...

Great news!!!

'Tilda is setting for real!

I gave her the original 5 eggs and 2 2-days fresher eggs and let her go to it. Today, she got up to dustbathe and drink water, and immediately, another layer jumped in the nest, and became her "babysitter"!

Fortunately, she threw the sitter out before she could lay an egg, so all was well.

I am so excited I could pop!
