LOCKING DOWN anyone joining?

It's actually just a $5 webcam hooked up to my laptop at home. Easy easy to set up and get online. I'm going to try to keep it up even after (hopefully) they hatch! I keep looking for movement... but nothing...
 
I also locked down on the fifth. By the sixth I had 2 pips. This morning I had two chicks and another pip and by the time I got home I had one more. One left and it is barely pipping now. Super excited to be able to get them out once the last egg is done. These are my first eggs I've ever hatched out of the first chickens I've ever owned which I also raised from chicks. I set 6 eggs in a homemade incubator, 1 was clear, 1 quit and 4 made it to the hatcher. I think I might be addicted though because there is 46 in the incubator and 12 more on my counter waiting to go in

Here are the little guys in my home made cooler-hatcher. Definately some modifications I need to make to it before the next batch of 26 (or however many pass pre-lockdown candling) .

Thats funny and so cute Boy first time i ever have seen the mess they make hatching.... Its not pretty!! LOL But they are little dolls so worth the clean up i am sure.(i havent had a hatch yet))Not to be nosey but what is in the jar in the corner of the pic?
 
oh man.... mine or yours? I cant stop checking mine... it's driving me crazy today. Just MOVE or something!!! AHHHhhh
May be we should come up with a song to sing or dance to entertain so they move

"oh baby baby, give me a sign.. give me baby one more time" - how about that song to encourage chicks to give us a sign ?
 
So right after my last post I went to look at my webcam and I swear I saw an egg roll over! Now I'm staring at it to see if one will move so I know I'm not crazy!!!

I did an overlay of the images from yesterday and today to proof to myself that I'm not crazy, and one egg did move! Yayyyyy!!!

Okay so far with me day 17 early bird hatched. Today is day 20 and one egg has for sure pipped, another looks like it might have but I wont open the incubator to check for sure.
I'm getting excited :)
