    eggs rocking

    Your humidity should be more like 65%-70% and the chicken egg's could start hatching at anytime personaly I never heard the cheaping until they had pipped but maybe its because I always had other chick's in the house. I'm not sure about the turkey egg's either.

    I'm no expert but some breeds seem easier to hatch than others. I've heard this from others as well some of the breeds are a little heartier that others? I don't really know why but it just seems to be that way.
