   I am new to this and have no idea what these are. How do you know if they have pipped the air sac? We are expecting our first hatch next Wednesday and have not a clue what we are looking for.

   You don't. Sometimes you can guess.
   
   Pipping is when they break the shell and start the process of hatching.
   
   Zipping is when they begin to turn and break the shell cap all the way around just before pushing out and into the world.
