I hear peepers and should hope for the best that all 8 of them will hatch (there was 8 developed that i could see good when i last candled...day 16-17? but one didnt look nearly as veiny as the others i didnt think? idk)

Was just curious on if she disposes of them..just abandons them? I will probably want to candle them one last time to make sure nothings moving right? All this 1st time with a broody thing is hard even though it shouldnt be...guess it is just to me, she's doing a fine job

If you hear peepers that means there internaly pip'ed, So Im sure soon they will pip externally, And from there it will zip. this process could take up t 36 hours sit on your hands

and if its externally pip'ed and doesnt hatch with in 16 hours then I help, But other wise id wait sounds like there comming!

Oh btw they could be late because it they where a little below temp, it will slow down the hatch date and extend it

Id leave the one egg alone she will just abandon it once the others hatch.
