Anyone due today for chicks?

[Pharm Girl]

I don't know a pip from a zip and oddly, I can't find it on the home page chicken dictionary. I do have 4 eggs under a broody that are peeping at me and one has a small hole (a pip? a zip?) Fresh babies coming soon!
Thanks heavens for BYC, you are the only ones that understand how exciting this is!

Yep. I'm due every day until the end of summer.

Yay! Patience paid off...four new chicks out of four eggs! Even the one that was set a day later hatched only about 12 hours later

Hope everyone's babies hatched!!!

A pip is the first small hole. The zip is when the chick begins to go around the egg, essentially "zipping" open the egg...

Day 20 for 4 wellsummer eggs, 2 pipped that I can tell.
So now what do I do to keep myself busy so I am not glued to the incubator door?
Well I started cleaning the barn( I don't know if I incubate eggs anymore it is to much work for me.
Good Luck everyone
