Peck on them with your finger and they'll chirp. A mother hen will do that to her eggs to tell them to come out and start peeping

1 chirped and 1 pecked back.

its good! you can even put a wet paper towel under it to help with humidity so its little membrane doesn't dry out...but it looks like its doing good

My eggs are on day 16. Do you think that they will peck or chirp back?

They usually chirp back on day 20 or later
