this is silly i know, but i have read in some of the posts were you hear peeping from the egg, do you hear that before it starts to pip...if so that is so amazing....

You'll hear peeping when the chicks internally pip- into the big air sac. After that- won't be long and they'll be pipping, zipping, and bouncing around the incubator. It really is such a cool thing to witness.

Yep - sometimes you hear peeping before the egg pips. It's really cool.

It's been said a thousand times before - the best thing you can do now is walk away from the bator and don't even think about opening it.
