Hey, I have a pip!!

And it is 1 of the 3 eggs that I think is a silkie.

(I thouht I heard a very faint chirping a little earlier, but couldnt tell for sure. Didnt hear it when I put my ear to the top)

Now

and

on the silkie pip.

Nothing new here this morning. Glad I didn't stay up all night!
Pip is still cheeping if I talk to her, but no zipping yet and no other pips as far as I can see.

Just checking my notes. The pip is a Wyandotte egg. Hope its a blue laced red one

It was a real wriggler all along - so much so it was the embryo I videoed.

Come on little ones...

Just got another pip!!!!
Think its an orpington but can't see the number on the end properly.

And pip #1 has been pushing up on its pip hole so its got a bit bigger.

Going to be a long day.

Interestingly pip #2 is also from an egg I haven't seen rocking. Maybe the rockers are later pippers because the non-rockers are already in position and the rockers are still turning around? Time will tell.

i guess the pip is into the zip timee? i can see a section of egg about an inch long missing and can see the runner duckling... blue black silverish color. IM SO EXCITED! i cant wait i hope this comes soon! it looks pretty moist so im not going to worry about spraying it. i can now hear it cheaping when i talk to her its just not very loud lol! my mute duckling!! PLEASE LET THE TIME GO QUICK FOR DUCKY TO COME OUT!!!

Congrats everyone on the pips and hatches!

It can take a really long time from pip to zip. Some of mine waited over 14 hours to start zipping.

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

mine had waited about 20 hours before zipping! now i can finally see the baby and hear her cries!!

I got up several times in the night and had a chick by 1 am and now this morning(it's 5 am here) I have three chicks and 4 almost out. It's a silkie A dark colored one. I am really hoping for a splash out of one of these silkie eggs. None of my Orpingtons have even pipped. HMMM! Come on babies! Congrats to everyone. This is so exciting. This is what makes all that waiting worth while.

No pip or peep yet...
I set my eggs in bator on 13th, very late night, so I still have hope...
However, it is not a good sign... (sigh..)
