How Soon Do the Eggs Start Peeping/Chirping Before Hatching?

[ClareScifi]

I can't remember how soon the eggs that my hen are sitting on, that are due to hatch sometime this Tuesday will start cheeping/peeping? I hope the eggs are good. How soon have you heard your eggs start to chirp/peep before hatching? Last time it seems it was nearly a whole day before, but I can't recall for sure?

Hiya, I've only just had my first hatch, well, not even that, only 2 eggs made it to lockdown and only one of those has hatched so far, but I just wanted to let you know that I heard nothing until he'd half zipped xx

Are your eggs in an incubator or under the hen?

The peeping/chirping has begun! It won't be long now. I am so excited!
