Question about the last 3 days

[Ms Steak]

after pipping, there is no more movement. how long to wait? what is going on in there?

I have had my very first egg internally pip tonight, so searched for the answer. Between 8 and 24 hours. We are in for a long wait. Good luck!

I have 8 pipped out of 17 now. They are peeping as well. 74% humidity, I think that's good. maybe there will be chicks in the morning.

Woke up this morning to LOUD peeping! Looked in the incubator to see 4 chicks! I put them in the brooder. One more egg is peeping loudly and he/she seems hard at work pecking though the shell. it is about 2/3 of the way around. My little Yorkie has the excited shakes. YAY!!!
Pictures to follow.......

I wasn't really prepared for the babies. I was expecting them on Sunday. Luckily my daughter had just moved back in from college and had these plastic totes. I had a reflector light in the shed and put a layer of paper towels in the bottom. I like this tote, so I will leave the chicks in it. We can see through and check on them. Our Yorkie, Benji, has claimed them as his babies. The little guy can't quit. I ran to the CoOp and bought a bag of chick starter and a waterer. I am a little scared of it, it is open and I am afraid they will get their head stuck in the water. I am headed to the Tractor Supply later to get some sand and see of there is a better waterer.

Cute guy/gal. Have no idea how to tell them apart.
