Incubating first time

[ctzdavis]

So we are at day 19 1/2. At which point do you think we should start hearing the little peeps out of the eggs? We candled them at day 8, only had one that was not fertile. Now I am nervous since I am a first timer. Thought's?

Could be any time but don't give up to early in case they hatch late.

You won't be hearing them cheep until they have pipped into the air sac, which they will do at the start of the hatch. They may not cheep at all though, so don't worry if you don't hear anything. Mine usually doesn't cheep, or not so I can hear it and the first sign of life is when they pip externally.
