How exciting, congratulations to those getting pips!

I'm betting my little ones are going to make me wait for awhile before the first pip (my last two hatches did, but they still hatched days 20-21).

I can see two of my hatch-a-long eggs beginning to draw down though. I'm kind of glad they aren't pipped yet since I want to let the eggs with the smaller air cells have more time without the humidity raised.

I don't see any pips yet but somebody is at least pipped into an aircell because I hear cheeps!!
I'm betting it's the Golden Sebright egg judging by the fact it has majorly rolled again overnight. Lol I'll be hovering over the bator today that's for sure. No touching though. I cracked the lid enough to put water on my wash rag in the corner for humidity and that's as much as I'm doing.

I love hearing that. I was wondering this morning if it is normal & ok to NOT hear cheeps, if you have a pip?

It could still be a while so definitely patience is needed...It is hard though!

I got my lockdown setup going! I’ll pop them in after lunchtime.

THANK YOU @pipdzipdnreadytogo!!! This is going to be perfect and I won’t have to do anything. I even have little humidity cups and sponges ready if I can’t keep the humidity up and four separate compartments for individual eggs I’m concerned about getting knocked around.

As long as you see progress don't worry. Hatching is hard work and they don't all chirp. They may be taking naps to build up energy for the next step.

My incubator is on a shelf in my bedroom, near the bed... theres just no sleeping after lockdown lol, don't even try. Last night, for no reason at all, I just wanted to check for pips, just in case! But also, didn't want to disturb my boyfriend, sound asleep. So, I sit up, streeetch myself so I can see into the bator , of course nothing has changed, all is well. Lay back down. Today, o my word, my neck hurts soo bad !! I'm not sure what to tell people... I uh was looking into my incubator and uhmm strained my neck.... I can't tell my parents, they'll put me in a chicken-lady asylum lol...

It continues for me since I keep them in the bedroom for a week after hatch. Sometimes they can be noisy at night!
