I manage to video it hatching!!That's so excited if you can can you get a video of it hatching. don't worry if you cant
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!!
I will defo take some photos!!
If you can hear them peeping, they've internally pipped. They should be here within two days.
Oops, you beat me to it! In a much more informative way, lol.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!
It already does!! & thanks for the advice, I checked it at 530am so 2 hours ago it could have internally pipped between 9pm last night & this morning, so the 24 hrs is going to drive me bonkers!!If you can hear it cheeping then it has pipped internally.
