Day 22 chicks haven't hatched but there's some pecking noises. What do I do?!?!

i just tried to listen for some more tapping and i cant hear it anymore. do you think it's just because they're tired?
thanks

Probably. Its about 24 hours after internal pip before external and then about the same to hatch time

Yep, they are babies and need a lot of naps. Hatching is very hard work.

I leave my phone or iPad on top of the incubator playing “30 minutes of chicks chirping” on YouTube and that seems to speed things up a bit! Plus it helps me stay out of there hahaha

Yeah, they want to get out and meet the new chicks they hear! It’s adorable!

 

[MyChickens14]

Yay!!! It did that yesterday
I'm really excited!!!!

 

[MyChickens14]

Can I do anything else to encourage them to hatch?!?! I'm not that patient

why do the chicks feel the need to come out of their shell?
