[countrygirl911]

well i just got my third pip now the question is about the first egg that pip it has been 12 hrs and nothing has changed it is peeping but not as much and sounds a little weak is something wrong or could it just be sleeping

I have learned by my mistakes from my last hatch - The Chick must make it out of its shell on its own otherwise it will be weak, the temptation is there to help but I have helped too early on many occasions and feel like I have had a part in the death of a few chicks.
If they are weak it is better for you to loose them in the hatching process than during the first few days of their life.

This may sound a bit harsh - but as they say and its worth saying again " Don't count your chickens until they hatch " and this is so true.

Don't worry! I hatched some last weekend. They can go along time between pip and hatch. My first egg to pip didn't hatch till 24 hours later!!!

Some just take longer than others!!!

Good Luck !
