    Any feedback would be very helpful!!

    So it's end of day 21, and no pipping. Only 1 egg made it this far out of 7. However, we have seen the egg wiggle from time to time. Is this normal and a good sign?? I'm discouraged because no pip :( And can they hatch in the middle of the night or only during the day?
