I now know how expectant fathers feel!! Being female during pregnancy you just want it out, but I've been pacing up & down to the kitchen to check, how long roughly will I have to wait, the suspence is killing me!!

If you can hear it cheeping then it has pipped internally. They stay at that stage for about 24 hours at which time the oxygen in the air cell is falling, motivating the chick to make an external pip. Then they go about the business of absorbing the remains of the yolk and blood that has been going through the veins in the membrane and that can take approximately 24 hours. Unzipping then happens and that shouldn't take longer than an hour.

It will feel like forever!

If you can hear them peeping, they've internally pipped. They should be here within two days.
