Kathy I do believe I hear it when it kicks on to heat the incubator. I checked the humidity and it's going down to 72 now so it's working fine again. Temp good at 98-99 still. I had internal pipping this morning at 10 something. I have been waiting because it's been pecking at the shell since earlier but still no external pip! Hopefully in the morning! how long does it take them once they internally pipe to externally pipe?

Humidity looks better, it takes a while, patience is the most important thing now.. Understand when they do start coming out, that humidity will rise again but you don't want to make any adjustments, it makes it harder for them to fluff up..

Once one is out its like a dominos affect..

I would expect them to pip externally in 24-48 hours from internal pip.

Ok so heard the peeping last night and they have been internally pipped since yesterday morning... I woke up and still no external pipe. Do they wait until their hatch day to externally pipe or is that waiting too long? I haven't heard any peeps yet. Let me know guys!

Correct that just heard a raspy peep!
