Give it time. You're only on day 19. The waiting is the worst part! Oh, and the advice someone gave me first time....Don't open the bator!!!!"

Mine usually don't peep or move much either. Today, the ones I never saw move, or make any sound are the first ones hatching. Go figure...

I don't have anything yet and mine are day 20 but they are under the broody. Do broodies sometimes take longer? Can you hear them under a broody? I can't wait to see them!! Yippee!! How many eggs total are we waiting for in this thread? I have 17.

I have/had 12!

as for eggs under a broody. I have 2 under mine and this morning I took her off the nest to eat and releive herself, I looked at each egg and held them to my ear. 1 I could hear peeps the other I heard moving around in there. the one that I heard peeping now has a pip.

I had nothing going on till the middle of day 20. but remember it is supposed to takes 21 days!

GO CHICKIES GO! GO CHICKIES GO!

I was considering getting shipped eggs, but they are just too expensive.

So that is 41 eggs so far. I don't want to move my broody. It is a little cool here and I am terrified to disturb the eggs. She doesn't seem to want to move at all and last year she did a great job just just letting her be.
