I know what pip & hatch mean but what is zip, etc.? I'm semi- new to this. Second time incubating.. ;-)
 
Pip- first break though the shell
Zip- when they continue breaking the shell all the way around. Like unzipping a zipper.

Hey new2chooks, when you gonna change that user name?
 
cmdl123, don't listen to that stuff about zipping it's way out. that is such an old joke. truth is the chick pips which is that first tiny hole. it then gets it's first peak at the outside would and spends the next 24 hours or so trying to close the hole back up again. that is why you see the pip and nothing happens again for hours and hours. really. Okay just so not to confuse you. it really is what everyone else said.
