What should my eggs be doing ? I've read people saying theres are rolling all over the place or are eggs in lockdown normally still till the hatching process starts ie piping etc I'm not sure if I've heard like a scraping sound coming from the incubator and I'm not sure sure if I heard chirping from inside my incubator is abit noisy so I'm not 100% sure

I had them both ways... some I see hardly a thing until they are popping out and no sound and other time the eggs bouncing and chirping try to stay positive. Mine went in lockdown last night. I am going to try and ignore them for the most part today. Just check the temps and humidity. Tomorrow Im sure I will be looking for pips And setting up my brooder box and preparing for a long night It all will be worth it , even if I only end up with a couple that hatch. ( I just have 5 in this bunch)

I dont know about this hatch.zLast night went to bed humidity was 56 so didnt add water....this morning...21!!!!If these last 3 poor eggs havent dried up the chick I dont know.Lock today so will see Friday.

I havent checked mine yet this morning... mine was about like yours last night.... hope it goes well for you...

What time and day did you set your eggs? Did you candle before you put them into lock down? Not all eggs roll around. If you put your ear against the incubator you may or may not hear chirping. It is very distinct and you will know if you hear it. I actually play Youtube videos of chicks hatching and chirping when my eggs are in lock down to encourage them to hatch...

ok, never thought about playing them video of chicks hatching lol! i know they do react to the sounds of the other chicks hatching
