c.wilson :

what about now any beak action

No beak action yet, but I think it's getting close.

I don't see any action with the egg on the right.

I wish dd or dh would go down and whistle to it. I bet it would pop out quicker.

I'm not a very good whistler.

just go in with your highest pitched voice and say eeeep eeeep eeeeeeep!

I actually put some classical music on for them!!!

My daughter asked if these were going to be cultured turkeys.

These turkeys are actually for dh & dd, so I just thought THEY would want in on the hatching fun. BUT NO, lets let mom do all the hatching. LOL!!!!!

I guess I need to go down to the basement and tap, chirp & talk to them.

I said, "here chickie, chickie," and it worked.

Two of mine pipped this morning and are still just sitting there, although several around them have hatched. I picked one of the pipped eggs up to see if it was dead (go ahead and lecture me

), and it peeped. I'm gonna go find something to do besides stare at the 'bator.

I have five chicks, four pips, and four eggs just sitting there.

I'm hoping to hear about baby turkeys this afternoon!

Congratulations!!!!!!

Your hatched chicks will help encourage the other ones to hatch.

In my last chick hatch I remember the first chick to hatch would peep moving all around the bator and would pass out to rest right on top of one of it's siblings, then peep to help encourage it to hatch. It was so funny!!!!

I actually was saying "Here Turkey, Turkey, Turkey!" earlier.

I am just trying to keep myself busy also. I think I'll go check on them again.

LOL! I got a big kick out of watching one chick trying to get the other one to hurry out. I wish I could have taken a video.

DD finally went down to the basement to whistle to the active egg....................Still no beak action. It looks like the outside of shell is cracked, but don't know if it's broken through the membrane just yet.

These turkeys are sure mello AND TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME!!!!!!

 

[c.wilson]

well keep is posted and keep whistling to them. yes just hearing about is is making me anxious for you. LOL

they sure are taking a good old long time

These turkeys are soooo slow!

I've been keeping myself busy all day thinking if I don't hover that they will pip & zip faster. NOT!!!!!

The one on the left will wiggle trying to do a complete pip, but only if I go down there and cheer it on.

STILL NO BEAK ACTION!!!!!!!!
