    Yup, both. If your temp was a bit low then you would see some wiggle and hear a chirp now and then day 21 or 22. Some don't see the wiggle or hear faint chirps. I always do but am a hyper observant person. The chirping gets much louder after they pip the shell.

    Never saw them move until hatching. Have heard the chirp. The majority of ours hatched day 20 last Friday. On some, the external pip was small and hard to notice.
