Waiting for pips!

[QuackerOats]

Ohh.. Any activity yet? I just got a third pip. Except its pipping in a place where I can't see him. But I see eggshells on the floor. Theres one chick who keeps wiggling around in his egg and peeping, but has not made a lot of progress in three hours... I hope he isn't stuck! Maybe I am just paranoid...

Just took the dogs for a walk & when we got back we had a hatched chick. One down, 17 to go...

Another zip and hatch; man, that one was fast! The two that have hatched so far are both bantam Columbian Rocks. 16 to go...

I'm still waiting for pipping too. I have three Orpington eggs, and today is day 21. I haven't heard any peeps... that I know of. But yesterday, and a little today, I have noticed small amounts of wiggling eggs. Just barely noticeable. I am finding that waiting is really hard. Each minute that goes by is another I am checking to see if there is any movement or hatching going on. We keep ours in our bedroom. Yeah.... a little much light at night, but well worth it. The part about listening for the peeping, a little hard. Some of the times I think I may hear a faint peep... there are birds chirping outside the window. So it's really hard for me to tell. Really wish I had a stethescope. (sp) I am getting so anxious for everything to start happening. I hope it does soon!
