Whats with the cheeping, I'm quite surprised they are this vocal. I did not expect that. Speed Racer has been chirping almost non stop for an hour. The boyfriend came up with that name for the first baby that hatches. I humour him. I am a dutiful girlfriend.

I'm gonna name mine ... Tardy, and Late for Dinner!

I love the sound ... the chirping before hatch! It's like a sign ... yes, we are here and we are gonna hatch soon! LOL

Still no babies, what about you guys? I passed out from 5am-8, bf checked them at 6:25, nothing but cracks in the shell and noise.

They are still chirping and I can hear a constant little peck. 5 have pips (not actual holes through but cracks where there beak tried to get through, does that count as a pip? lol.

Hoping someone else who was waiting last night has babies coming out the wazoo!

GOT ONE ! ! !

About 30 minutes ago! One out and one sorta zipping!

Nothing from the other 9 eggs though. Day 22 now ...

Listen to this ... stupid me ... I looked in the window door of the Sportsman, and I see two eggs with the date on them .... the date I stuck them in there. A green egg and a Silkie egg. I remember sticking them in, because I had just collected eggs, and they were in my pocket. I just thought ... awww, heck, I will stick these fresh eggs in there! LOL Well, I forgot about them. They are due today! The Silkie egg has a pip!

OMG ... in the turner, no elevated humidity! I wonder if it will make it out???

 

[cluckcluck42]

YES You got a baby!!!!! WHERE are the pics :O I die for chick pics.

Well crap, I hope they are okay. What is the humidity at now? Mine dropped down to 60 while I was sleeping.

Are you gonna leave em all there until Day 25?

ETA: The unhatched chicks I mean.

Have you been up ALLLL night? I quite literally passed out with a diet pepsi in the freezer.
