A couple of mini answers to your hatching questions-

[gimmie birdies]

1. How much longer after it peeps in the shell before it pecks a hole? A= it should be about a day.
2. How much longer to wait after it pecks a hole before it hatches? A=it might be 12-24 hrs before the egg even moves again after pecking the hole.Be patient. Do not assist!

Good luck!!!!

New notes!- eggs must be put in incubator pointed end down! there is an air cell in the large end. air rises and if you put an egg in pointed end up the air bubble could break the egg yolk trying to get to the highest point of the egg. Eggs you plan to eat should also be stored this way.
