My 1 egg out of 14 eggs (all the others died... but one, it might still be alive)  its PEEPING!!!!  But, it's not pipping! Is this normal? Or am I just freaking out for nothing???    Thanks

I just listened to mine chirping inside for 2 days before I saw a pip. Good luck!

It hatched! It's all black but with a yellow line on its head and a yellow belly and yellow tipped wings!

Well, the humidity was really really low. Like 16-32% the whole time so I'm surprise the chick even hatched. But, other than that, I don't really know why the others died...  And thank you!
