Yes! That is what's going on now. I'm hardly seeing any movement anymore, but a whole lot of pecking

No pips that I'm aware of yet though. Our official lockdown was Tuesday night too.

yoohoo...

i've got one out and eggs scattered every where... Another one has pipped....

Yay!!

Still no pips over here. I'm getting out of the house to run some errands and take the kids to play at the playground. I can't stand staying home and checking on them every 5 minutes! Hopefully when I get home there will be some action.

Can't wait for St. Patty's day, that's when mine are supposed to hatch!!! Started with 41, all 12 store eggs were clear and so was 1 from my cornish. Down to 28. Hoping all hatch. Also have 25 chicks ordered to come in at the same time. Lots of little fuzzy butts!!! Dad's Bday is the 16, his not very happy though, IDK why.....

292 eggs... wow. what breeds?

Just got home from running around. When I went to check in on the chicks I noticed 3 eggs with pips (that I can see) and I hear lots of chirping going on in there!

My husband has been very tolerant so far of my chicken obsession. But I feel like it's only a matter of time before he cracks! He doesn't know yet that I have 18 more eggs on their way here soon....

So, I still have one early pipper and Im hoping for more tomorrow. I really really really dont want only one chick to hatch. The closest store to me that has chicks is 100 miles away!!!

I also set 59 (ordered 60 and 1 broke in shipping) Texas A&M quail eggs in the LG.
Funny story as to why Im incubating quail eggs. I got this box in the mail marked fragil. Im like what in the heck is this? So, I asked my dh and he said "dont you remember? I asked if I could order some quail eggs and you said sure". I told him that I had a foggy recollection on a conversation involving eggs for dinner but Im pretty sure I'd remeber if "he" wanted to incubate quail eggs. He said "no I asked and you said sure". So, Im thinking he asked me at a strategic time when I was involved with the BYC forum and was not paying any attention to what he was saying.
DH: "Can I order 50 +10 Texas A&M Quail Eggs, they are only 10 bucks including postage?"
Me (what I heard): Blah blah blah...eggs..blah blah blah...dinner...sure....
DH: Quickly hits the buy now button and purchases said eggs
Me:"So, am I making dinner or are you?"
DH: "Lets go out to eat."
Me" Sweet! I dont have to cook!"

Then a few days later The Box arrives and we have quail eggs! So I just set those and now I wait 17 to 19 days for the little dears to hatch. I've never incubated quail before. This will be quite the experience!
