I notice my eggs start to rock on the 4th day before the eggs are to hatch (when i stop turning them). this has been for each hatch i've done so far( which I've only done 3)...am on my 3rd right now and they started wiggling about 3 hours after i stopped turning them.

Now everyones going to see if they can see em moving..LOL Yeah my last hatch I saw them rocking on about day 18 too. Day 16 on these eggs i think it may be too early to see em rocking just yet Maybe?

i think what causes the rocking is the chicks are so big that when they are moving its' visable (as long as they aren't held steady to the ground by like rubber or something...but on a very flat surface its pretty easy to see them wobble.
