I'm on day 19 and I was hoping to hear or see something happening under my broody Silkie. Two are my own EE eggs and the other 9 are black split lav Orps from Bargain. It's not the same as the last time. I had chicks on day 19! Of course, they were bantams, too.

Mama moved off her nest a bit and started clucking

to mama Silkie, she's hanging in there! Day 21 today I haven't looked at any eggs to see if there are any pips...my hands have been chilly and I figure her clucking means she's calling for them. I thought I heard another chirp too, but maybe it was a bird outside, at the feeder. Idk but this is SO exciting.

I was bad this morning and checked my 7 eggs on day 20 ( already on lockdown)which is today. 3 had pips with cracks in the eggs, 3 more that I can hear peeping and pecking sounds and one that I couldn't hear anything. I'm so excited that I can't wait to leave the office to go check at home. These are shipped buff silkie eggs. Woot! I can't wait to see them..

Day 21 here and I think I have internal pips going on. Mom got a drink and I peeked. I notice the air cells are dropping down more and I do see shawdow movement within the egg. I don't know if I'm seeing an internal pip, but I swear it looks like something is kinda in the air cell...this is all new to me, so I'm not sure what to see.
