eggs rocking while in lockdown?

[moorechicks]

I went on lock down yesterday and today my eggs are rocking back and forth. Does this mean anything? I hope they are ready cause I know I sure am.

It means you did everything correctly. Now all you have to do is wait until they hatch, which can be minutes or hours or even a day away. The rocking is from the chick moving inside trying to peck through the membrane and shell.

WOW!! I am soooooo excited!!!

Now lets see if I can wait until the hatch

I am so ready for them sweet babies

Thank you so much!

Sounds like a good sign to me. Sounds like they are getting into hatching position. Happy hatching!

yay they just need to pip and zip and what ever else they do lol..

Find something to keep you busy or you'll end up doing what I did....Sitting in a chair in front of the hatcher and staring.

If they're duck eggs could be TWO more days. Ducks will try your patience, lol.

Congrats, sounds like they're doing great. And second the notion to go find something to do. I drive myself crazy during hatch. Good luck!
