Awesome! Is the pipped egg visible on the cam? I can't tell which one it is.

 

[Akane]

It is but the picture isn't clear enough after it goes over the web to see pip marks. It's the one right down in front. They are a day early so dunno if they'll hatch tonight or not.

Looks like they are set on going 12hrs early. The one that pipped is making a bigger hole and rocking alot and another is pipped.

Cool!

Oooo!! I can see the pip, and the chick is trying to break through! It's so exciting! Now I'm not so upset at my toddler for waking me up at 4 in the morning! lol

 

[FenDruadin]

Congratulations! You have a chick! I knew I was going to miss it. My toddler had me up at 4 this morning, and I watched the chick enlarge the hole. Then he went back to sleep at 5:30ish and I chose sleep over witnessing the miracle.

Oh well. I posted the link to my homeschool group, and one of the ladies there got to watch it--she said she wasn't sure if it was really live or if she just got to see a clip, because her timing was so perfect. I reassured her it was live.

Thanks for letting us share the experience!

Oh, and you've got a rocker--bottom left in the camera. Wish we had a better view--is it pipped? Everything was arranged so nicely until that little chick came out and pushed everything around!

For anyone who's following this, there's one chick out and another one looks like it's getting ready to zip, front and center on the cam.
