If you look at the bottom right of the brown egg, not the one that says "BLRW?", you will notice two light lines... these are where light is shining on shards of shell that are popped out just a little.

Here's Pip #3!!!

If chicks hatch in the bator while I'm at work will they be ok in there?

I didn't see it in the pic last night lol. that's very cool! sometime between 3:30 - 5:00 am this morning, one of my eggs pipped. I see no movement or peeping. Is that normal? How long does the process of breaking out take, and at what point should I be worried?

I think I mentioned before, either on this thread or another one, that some chicks are seemingly motionless and then one day there's the chick wobbling around the 'bator ^_^
Most of the chicks from my first hatching were very silent, I didn't hear a peep until they were about to break out. I think this is completely normal. Like humans, some are just more rambunxious than others.
