[pefferlawchicken]

Hi! Sounds like it has already internally pipped. Could you hear it cheeping from in the egg?
Good luck!

Sounds like your going to have an early Arrival! Good luck, you should be able to hear peeping coming from it soon!

It's already pipped through the air cell and soon will be pipping the shell. Was the air sac really large or was just part of the head sticking through. Be sure your humidity is 65-70 percent while hatching. What has your humidity been?

You may hear peeping, it just depends if he/she is feeling talkitive. As for hatch time, it depends on the baby, but I would guess you should see a pip in the next 12 hours.

they are banty eggs and anytime ive had bant eggs they hatch day 18 or 19 so im really happy i just added another soaked sponge in so maybe ill get some better humidity
