Hello--
I could use some advice. I know this question has been asked before, but I'm just very anxious!
My Cayuga x Khaki Campbell-Cayuga mix breed eggs pipped internally yesterday (day 26). Their beaks are in the air cell. I can hear and feel little tapping. The eggs occasionally rock a little bit. I haven't heard them peep.
Do they need to pip externally within 24 hours? I've been reading conflicting information. Some people say to wait 2 days. Other people say that they will suffocate if they don't pip externally after 24 hours.
The temperature is at 98 degrees and the humidity is at 75%.
I'm not going to open the incubator again unless it's necessary. (It's so hard to not candle them!)
Thank you.
