Went into lockdown 24 hours ago. I can see a few of the eggs wiggling slightly. TYPICALLY, how long do you see wiggling before you hear a peep or see a pip???
 
I can't say -- I have honestly never seen an egg move before pipping. I'm always surprised to read that others are rockin' and rollin' before they hatch. Pips are the first sign of hatching at my house. ???
 
Mine are hatching as I type. Didn't see mine wiggle either. Heard peeping in the morning of day 19... very, very, faint. Found 2 pips that night. Had a chick in there today (day 20) when I woke up, and it wasn't one of those pips. Within 3 hours I had 6 chicks (still not the 2 original pips). Then nothing for 4 hours, now in the last 4 hours another 7 chicks have hatched. I lost track of the original pips with all the soccer going on. But about half of the eggs haven't even pipped yet. I'll give them a couple more days!
