with 7 more piping. Could someone tell me when you actually call "zipping" so I can use the right terms?!?
From my understanding "zipping" is when they are making their way around in the shell-like a zipper-making the shell easy to just push off in two pieces--they poke with their beaks around the inside of the egg as they turn creating a split.

That is zipping! It is very plain when you see it. A hole becomes a line. I now have 19 chicks. All my eggs hatched that were remaining in the bator. I culled 5 eggs earlier because they weren't progressing. I am so thrilled. I was so nervous because I had no clue what I was doing. It may be beginners luck, but whatever it is I'll take it and be so thankful. Now I just hope we have more pullets than roosters!
