From what I have read on here that means the chick has internally pipped, that is if by "sounds" you mean chirping. I think it can take 12-24 hours before the external pip happens. I think after the external pip it can be another 12 hours or so before they zip out. Hatching isn't a very quick process.

I'm not 100% positive because I just now set my eggs two days ago. I am sure someone on here will be able to offer you a more accurate answer. Good luck with your babies.

In my experience, from this point it could take anything from 12-30 hours before the chick hatches. You should see an external pip within the next few hours, after which the chick will take a lengthy break before zipping the shell and completing the hatch. I've had chicks rest up to 19 hours between external pip and zip, so don't worry if it seems like they are taking too long. Keep the humidity between 65% and 75% and good luck with the hatch!
