This is normal..... and they peep up to 24 hours before hatching, so you may be nose to the bator for a bit.
You might find, too, that they take a good long multi-hour nap between the pip and zip.
Once they're hatched it is amazing how in unison they'll all be running around and then all passed out....and fresh chicks sleep A LOT! Figure they're practicing their nappies...after all, hatching is hard work!
