Egg Wiggle... no pippin?

[Organie-Cochins]

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

BUT i saw a wiggle! The egg keeps wiggling.

Its our first hatching and a home-made incubator. Just want to be sure the egg wiggling is normal. I can't really hear chirping... though i thought i did at one point. But he def. wiggled! No pipping yet. How long can i expect to see pipping? I candled a few days ago, their so full i can't see nothing. One hatched 4 days ago with momma. I had to pull the rest as i couldn't bring myself to seperate the poor fella from mom and now i'm hatchig the rest of the 6.

So my question is:
Is wiggle eggs normal and how long can i expect to see him start pippin?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Yup, the wiggle is normal. The time estimate though, could be today, or a few days. They wiggle when gettting themselves into position to hatch. Good luck!
