Pipping?

[CATRAY44]

I see a very, very faint hairline crack at the top of one of my eggs... there is a slight dent pushing outward. I don't see movement, but am not watching it a lot. Could htis be the start of the pipping? Start of day 21...

That sounds like a pip to me if the crack is protruding.
Good luck on your hatch

yes that sounds like a pip...now be prepared to wait and wait and wait for more movement. Sometimes it takes lots of hours for them to make any more progress. How do I know this??? Because I had one pip at noon today and I need back surgery from leaning over the incubator for the past 9 hours watching for any more movement!

I have read and learned on here that it is normal for them to take a long time. Congrats!! and you and I can both sit and wait.

But I am still soooooooooo excited!
