My chirping has turned into a pip!! Just 3 hours after I heard the internal chirping... I see a perfectly placed pip!

It's 2 days early!

Some get really tired of waiting and want to see what all the fuss is about. Congrats!!!!!!

Just checked on my eggs. They're rock'n & roll'n and I have 2 pips. Early birds are ready to get outta there!!

I don't have so much as a twitch going on! Congrats!

Just checked on my classroom hatch.... One was VERY STUCK and dried in the egg... Helped that one... One had pipped and drowned.... Five with no pips... One pipped... TWELVE hatched and fluffy

Did you set on the 9th????

I didn't set on the 9th... Had to go a few days early...

Ok, now I'm scared. I was perfectly fine with the EE's hatching early... cuz I know by candling they had fully filled the egg and looked ready...

But now I see that 2 of my Barred Rock eggs have externally pipped too! It is too early for them! I just locked them down yesterday & they still had a fair amount of fluid in them yet & smaller air sacks!

I hope they don't drown.... & I hope they have all fully developed. My temps were not too high...

WORRIED! So many of you are hearing chirping and seeing rocking. I see or hear nothing. I set on the 9th....is that the day all of you set that are having early hatching?

There does that help?

They do an amazing amount of fluid removing at the end. They pip to breath and will now sit there and absorb the rest of the yolk and fluid. They may sit there for 24 hours. They will most likely be fine but prepare to help, but only if necessary.

Well 19 external pips, 0 zips, o hatched. Lots of ruckus going on in there though! I think they might be planning a party and everyone is still in their rooms getting ready! They didn't even send me an invite.

Think I just might crash that party though.
