Day 21....

[rooster0209]

How do you do this? The waiting is killing me.

I hear an occassional chirp, peck and a few of the eggs wiggle.

What do I do now? How long does it take? Does it happen fast? slow?

I may need a drink

DO NOT OPEN THE INCUBATOR!!!! Just sit tight and wait for the pips, you will have babies before long.

I know not to open the bator. That part I got....how do I sit tight? That is the part I am having problems with

Only day 19 for me but I have two pips!

 

[rooster0209]

I went out to burn (I love fire) thought that would take my mind off egg watching.

I have my 1st pip.

Question. This is my first hatch ever!

How long should it take a chick to free himself from the egg once it has starting piping?
