We are incubating them by having a lamp over them and then they have warm scarves wrapped around them a couple times and then there are wet sponges on either side for the humidity. We turn them about 3 times a day until the 18th day.
Thanks, they aren't making any noise now. I heard one of them make a teeny tiny squeaking noise but I don't know if it was a chirp or not, it was very faint.
Okay, so here we are on the 21st day. My foster sister told me while she was in our room she heard both of them chirp. I don't know whether or not she actually did but when I went in there, I held her egg up to my ear and I can hear little ripping noises. The other one who she said chirped the...

Thanks for all your help!!! We will try the misting and stop turning them now. Does that mean we should also stop candling or should we just be extra careful to not move their position?
Oh, and one more question (probably will have more) how do I know it is time to help them out of the shell and if it turns out I do have to, how do I go about it? Sorry, this is my first time and I am absolutely clueless!
Thanks to both of you!!!! I will definitely keep you posted!! I AM SOO EXCITED!!! So, I have heard multiple things about the misting, some people said that the eggs are not supposed to get wet at all, but I don't know. Has the misting worked for you? I will probably try that. Also, in case they...
Okay, I am super desperate!! I am on day 17 of hatching my eggs which I am doing by wrapping scarves around them and putting a scentsy candle burner over them and wet sponges on the sides. The temperature is around 100 degrees constantly so I think I am good on that topic.. the humidity I have...
