babies piping....quick question!!!

[Dougs chix]

Does anyone know if the chicks in eggs can hear other chicks hatching-thus motivating them to hatch as well?

They should,
I've been talking to my ducklings all day and they have been talking back

Yes. As a matter of fact I play a chick chirping video from my phone at the bator to motivate them. They usually really react as soon as teh chirping starts.

well the other eggs have not started pipping yet but the chick that just hatched this morning has knocked the eggs all over the incubator -will that be a problem for the chicks trying to pip? (being that the eggs have turned and are no longer facing the same direction they were when they positioned themselves to hatch)
