Ohohoohoh! They chirped back!

Last time I candled I heard lil scratchy/chirpy noises. And on the thread I was asking about, someone said that the mama broodies talk to the eggs sometimes.


Well, I was turning them and started clicking my tongue, and I heard the noise again! My babies are talking already.

What day are you on?

if they are churping at you they have inernally pipped so you must be past day 18 when you stop turning and they are getting ready to hatch soon you need to stop turning the eggs and go into lockdown and raise your humidity.

I'm on day 12, so it doesn't make sense that they pipped the membrane already, and the temps been fine for a still-air.

The sound it's a chirp, it's like a scratchy-thing. It only happens when I make a noise when I'm turning them. o.o (And yep, there are plenty times where I turn em, don't make a noise, and they don't make a noise. O

It always starts right after I make a sound then stops a little bit after.

The only thing I can think of is it coming from the lil ones?

could be their toe nails against the egg shell reacting by just moving to the sound of your voice
