She is cute.

You know what will probably happen? You will stress and stress and then fall asleep on the couch. Then when you get up in the morning you will find two or three beaky little faces staring at you.

Oh, I hope so!
I would probably start crying. No joke.

I'll let you guys know in the morning!

OMG! It's the end of day 19 and I got my first pip. It is the biggest egg of the bunch too. I came home from work, checked the egg, thought I heard a chirp, but thought I was imagining. Ate dinner, came back and thought I would put in more water since the humidity dropped down to 50% from 75% this morning. Opened the incubator to add water, and that is when I saw the pip. I can hear it chirp clearly too. The thing is, the pip is closer to the small end of the egg, not the large end. Will it be okay? Which end are they supposed to hatch from?

Congrats!!! Day 19!!! WOW

Fro m the few i had pip ... it should be the large end.But if you heard it chirp it must be in an air cell or it couldnt,.
Someone more knowlegable than me will have to tell you if theres a problem with that end.

Good luck! I actually think they are supposed to pip the big end, but I think they can hatch from either???

I'm sorry. 6/8 is pretty good, but no one likes to lose a chick that late in the game.

As for mine, still nothing with the other 2!!

It's day 21, something should be happening! I don't know what I did wrong with those 2! I candled them on day 16, and they were all moving around fine!
