I have my first hatching of a doz eggs tomorrow.  The eggs are moving and I thought I was imagining it at first, but I can hear chirping from inside the eggs.  Didn't know they could do that.  There are three eggs I am not sure about in their development, because the shells were too dark to see with candling.  But, I am so excited about hatching eggs from the incubator for the first time.

I didn't know that they could make chirping sounds while still in the eggs.  I thought I was hearing things at first.  Is that normal?

thank you!  It freaked our dog out.  She was looking all over to find the birds. LOL!

Thank you.  They were all speaking to each other through the night.  The eggs were rolling around a bit in the incubator this morning, so I think they will be ready to pop out soon.  Can't wait!
