I stand at my bator and loudly say Peep Peep Peeeep over and over again, and they call back to me and wiggle. And when I hatched ducklings, I wheep wheep-ed to them, and they were so cute with thier frantic movements wanting to come out to see Momma.

Congrats on the pips!!!

Nothing more has progressed with the first two....it's like they stalled.

Judy woke up at 1 a.m. to check on them, when she woke me up (15 mins ago) she told me there was 5 now. Sure enough there is progress on 5 of the white eggs, they started to "crack" the egg in a spot.

Still no chirping/peeping/singing from me or Judy.
