This is from today like 2 mins ago. Im feeling better. And he/she is moving and tapping like crazy inside. I can't wait to see what I have.

Do you hear any chirping? Can you see movement when you candle? @WVduckchick

I was afraid to candle when I seen the pip.. No chirping but I hear tapping and feel movement.

As long as he's still tapping that is good. But I really want to see it's bill. @Pyxis

I'm refreshing your page every few minutes, if it stops tapping or the tapping get's weaker, ping me.

Still hear tapping.. But I just candled it cause I got worried again. Looks like hes breathing fine to me also seen him open his mouth (chewing membrane Im guessing), wiggle his head a little, and seen him go back to tapping

The experts I called for are driving home from work. If you sense it stopping or getting weak let me know. As it might be time for an intervention. There's only so much air in that egg util it get's a good external pip.

Should I candle him every so often just to make sure? I know I shouldn't help.. I want to just a little but I shouldn't.
