I don't think that's normal. I think they're supposed to pip near the big end... into the aircell. I've heard that a spike in temp can cause an early pipper. I'd still hold out for the others a bit longer. I know it's GOT to be frustrating for you! I've got nose-prints on my bator

I've been down in the basement for 15 hours now watching "chick" tv

i didnt think so either.. when i put them in the turner i put pointed end down so the big end had more room for the air cell.
they all feel just as heavy as the 1 that pipped & the 1 that i opened felt lighter ..maybe the went on vacation b4 they come out.....

Nash you too!!!! Oh my I thought I was the only fool rushing back to the bator and pressing my face against it...aiming a flash light near the egg taking pictures with my camera and my cell phone!!!!

its almost 11pm here and I realized I havent had dinner!!!!

That is to funny! I have had my nose to the window half the day. I had the flash light and the camera too. LOL I bet it would be funny to have a video of me doing silly chickie momma stuff. I even stuck my baby finger in the plug whole and the chickies jumped up and pecked momma. I think my 2 day old chickies are wanting water. I may have to take them out tomorrow. That will be 3 days come tomorrow evening they have been in the bator. I will post pics tomorrow. Night All
