It will be difficult to tell until they are come out from the egg. Now I'm beginning to think that there could be a humidity problem occurring.

Can you see if the membrane is wet or dry?

Pip is when they make the first hole, just a slight crack in the egg, then they rest.

Zip, is when they start to break around the shell

I can't tell but nothing looks too wet.
I'm not sure when this egg started to pip or zip since he was at school over the weekend. (teacher can't get in over weekend). He was broken through on Monday. I don't think the other egg had those spots yesterday.

So, have any hatched, sorry I'm not sure

 

[sowellj]

No, there are only three. The only one active hatching is the one with the beak breaking through.

 

[eggsrcool]

Ok, so 1 is in active zip, any pips, or aren't you sure?

I'm not sure. Look at the pictures I took above and tell me if that one egg is piped.

Post #25 shows that egg I'm not sure about.

There appears to be one egg zipping, one egg with 2 pips

which is unusual, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I cant tell with the other egg, because there isn't a close enough pic. I think its the one in the middle, that I cant tell.

You were right that is one of the end ones.

THIS PICTURE IS THE MIDDLE ONE. IF YOU LOOK REAL CLOSE IT LOOKS LIKE A SPOT (PIP) ON IT. THIS IS THE ONE THAT HAS LOOKED THE BEST DURING CANDLING AND IT WAS MOVING IN THE EGG LAST WEEK WHEN CANDLED.
