First Time Hatching Anyone With Me??

[Kathryn4629]

OH MY GOSH........... I HAVE A PIP!!!!!

I cannot even begin to explain just how eggcited I am!!!! I just looked in the bator (10:55pm) and thought I was seeing things

How the heck am I supposed to go to bed NOW??? Oh and the wind is howling and the snow is coming down hard, I really how the power doesn't go out.

I am actually a little surprised that its still on. Please send good power vibes my way!!

Sorry for my excessive use of smilies, but I am just so darn happy. This way better than Christmas morning.

Positive power vibes.....positive power vibes....

The excitement never wears off! But, you are probably in for a long wait before the little one gets out so best advice is go to bed! It'll be so much more exciting by morning.

Update: as of 8:00am PST still just the one pip and no more progress. But I figure that its still been less than 12 hours, so no need to worry. I can also hear the occasional peeping.

Oh and I dreamt all night about hatching chicks and I woke up several times swearing I could hear peeping.

The chick is currently zipping!! I am uploading pictures now, dang slow internet.

Question: None of the other eggs have piped yet, is this normal? Should I be worried? Technically this is only day 20.
