Here is a photo of one of mine from earlier this year to illustrate what you should expect to see. You can see the little triangle which is the beak, quite clearly.View attachment 2915253

Yeah I wasn't sure but I also posted the videos in a thread on the incubation forum. Someone thought internal pipping had at least begun so I just started lockdown about 24 hours earlier than the calendar said. Thank you! I am so excited!

Yes it has begun. Your video shows the shadowing at the bottom of the egg from the chick’s body pressing into the air cell.

I figured out how I can candle a couple of the eggs with a flashlight without opening the incubator in lockdown. Had I thought ahead I would have tried to place them accordingly but hey at least I can see a few! LOL

Lots of wiggling and very chatty
