phoebejo Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I feel sick with nerves. I've looked at the eggs around 347 million times today If I'm lucky they might start to pip tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasta Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Fingerd x'd for little pipping chicks today. Your nerves must be frazzled Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoebejo Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 No sign of anything this morning. As they didn't go in the incubator until late on the Saturday night I guess they're not really 20 days old until tonight. I'm going to film my chooks being noisy later and will play that into the incy in a bid to hurry them along I'm supposed to be able to hear them chirping by now inside their eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoebejo Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 No pipping yesterday, checked on them a couple of times in the night and still nothing. I was laying in bed this morning utterly convinced they were all dead and it was all my fault when I heard a cheeping noise If I sit next to the incy and say "come on little chickies" one of them cheeps back at me It's been chatting away for about two hours now but hasn't pipped yet. So I know for sure at least one is alive, it just hasn't hatched yet. Hopefully it's cheeping will spur some of the others on too  I've been ill for nearly two weeks now and I'm sure the stress of all this hasn't helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoebejo Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Blue egg still not hatched yet and the noisy one doing all the cheeping isn't that one so there are definitely two alive in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendbert Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I can't really imagine an egg cheeping Can you do a little video for us, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoebejo Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 That'd be impossible unless I sat recording all night because they just do it at random. It's like a little bird singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
