Eggs moving but no pipping? UPDATED!!

[kaitflower]

Geez, I hope they pip soon. I haven't any of them move in about a day. It's really quiet here at home so I could hear them moving in the 'bator yesterday morning from the other room. No action today though.... Still have the wet socks and the bottom of the 'bator tray has water in it's designated spot.

Well this morning 5 eggs have pipped. None of the ones that were rolling though... 10 more chances to go!

QUESTION: The inner membranes seems really thick and are pretty much white. Is this bad?

what's your humidity reading?

I'm embarrassed to say I don't have a humidity gauge.

I misted them this morning and I have a wet sock in there. One came out, but it still has the umbilical cord attached. It's trying to run all around though and peeping like mad. I think it's fine. The 4 others that have pipped haven't made much progress. I couple have their beaks sticking out of the small hole and the other have just made the holes and not done anything else.

Also, one has pipped on the wrong end.

LOL. I am in the middle of my first hatch and was doing the same thing. They definitely respond! Here's my first one out of the shell(Lavender Orpington). There are 2 out of 8 hatched after 21 hours. They started at the end of day 20. There are a couple more Black Copper Marans pipped. I'm so excited!
