Okay, guess ya'll can tell by how much I am on here I am excited. I am excited but, I am getting nervous. When do they usually start pipping???

Yes I will post lots of photos.... I only have two pips so far.... this is only my second hatch so I am nervously awaiting their hatching too. My last hatch was due on a Friday and didn't stop until Sunday afternoon. They kinda take there good old time.

What day did they start pipping??? I just went into lock down today, so this is day 19. Will I probably not see anything until day 21? Look forward to the pics.

I am day 19 been in lockdown since yesterday and the waiting is killing me, i keep running to the bator every 5 minutes to see if any thing is happening but nothing is. I know what an expectant father must feel like now

Yes I feel the same way. I have 5 pips. 4 of them are on day 20 and one is on day 21... so you might see something tomorrow.

Waiting for them to zip is so hard!

Me too... I think I have 6 viable eggs left because 3 just don't look right - there is yellow fluid moving about. If they were viable they'd be solid by day 20.

The mum went for her food, water and giant smelly poo but was taking ages - I was worried that she wasn't coming back.

I've not heard a pip out of them yet, mind. I doooo hope that they make it out. Does anyone know hatch rates from viable at day 20?
