Thanks Bailey!
Day 21 started at 4PM yesterday. At 8PM, no sounds, and certainly no pips. At 2:30 AM this morning, I heard peeping, but no pips. Checked again at 6AM - still the same. By 7:30, I was getting nervous, and *thinking* of attempting to open the shell, but by 8:15, the one had pipped. At 9:15, I chipped the pipped pieces away with a dental tool and made a tiny breathing hole - and at 10:30 and 11:30, I chipped and opened alittle more each time. The hole is just big enough to where I can see the beak and its making lots of noise, but it hasn't attempted to zip at all.
So its been 3.5 hours since the initial external pip. Will continue to check every 30-60 minutes and assist if I have to - I'll keep you updated and y'all keep your fingers crossed for us!!!
