At least you can lay in bed and sleep if nothings going on.

How's it going? Tell me there are at least some pips.

No pips....No peeping!! I have seen a few eggs move a little, but not much. I couldn't stand it much longer, so I candled 2. The double and a single. I did see movement in there, but couldn't tell if they have pipped internally. It's driving me CRAZY!!! I'm hoping they are just gonna be a little late due to low temps in the beginning, but I'm also scared that something is wrong.

I hope they start hatching soon...now I am getting nervous for you!!

OMGosh! I'm trying to contain my excitement, but I just heard a peep!! Just once, then no more. Is it normal to second guess yourself and wonder if it was just your imagination?

Yup. I did it the whole time...lol Did I? No, Yes, I did...No I didn't...lol Play some chirping and maybe he'll chirp more. My first one that peeped from inside the shell did. lol

Nothing else since I heard that peep!! Wouldn't you think SOMETHING would be going on at day 21 now? Anyway, I'm getting worried, so I candled one and found that the air cell has almost doubled in size since lockdown. It is also a half saddle shape. It wasn't like that at lockdown. I'm trying to find some info on what to do with it, but thought I would ask you guys also. Oh, I couldn't see any movement in it either, but my candling devices are extremely pitiful, not to mention it's a brown egg.

Less movement near hatch, they are resting up for the big jail break, plus it's getting tight in there.
Sometimes it's day 22-23, just wait, better to leave things be for now.

I know, I know.....Thanks for the reminder! It's tough not to worry and not think about the what if's.

I can't believe I ordered more hatching eggs and am going to put myself through all this again!

Yes, it's unbelievable that incubating is so addicting when it's so frustrating....lol I actually have to agree with aart, it could take an extra day or two, especially with flunctuating temps. Still crossing my fingers for you and checking on updates!
