Yes they will, once they pip internally they will start breathing air and they will start chirping.

Deep breath. You still have at least 24 hours to go before they are even close to hatching.

Wow, this is a fast moving forum! I haven't been on since yesterday afternoon and am 125 posts behind!

Update on my eggs: I bought 2 dozen eggs from a local breeder in Phoenix area; next craigslist add I saw from them they were selling all their chickens and moving for some reason. Kinda stinks because I was going to complain about the fertility rate in one of their pens. I had 4 different breed from them, but their Ahola chickens only 1/4 I received was fertile. Plus, they didn't candle the eggs before selling because one of them had a peck-mark and cracks issuing from it.

So: 11/11 runner duck eggs developing and due for lock-down on Sunday.
1/4 Aloha eggs developing

10/12 Crested cream legbar-2 blood rings got pulled (one had a crack, so was expected)
4/4 buff orpington eggs developing
4/4 golden laced wyandotte eggs developing

Super excited for the CCLs and GLWs!!!!!!!!!! Hope I get at least 1girl from those 4 GLW eggs! (More is good, though

)

My chicken eggs are due for lock-down on Tuesday (gee-I hope those ducks hatch quickly so my hatcher is empty in time!)
