my egg is cheeping.....!!!!
« on: June 17, 2010, 14:22 »
...but no sign of pipping. Should I be worried? The 21 days is up on Sunday - this is the first incy hatch I've done so I don't know if I should be helping/ignoring/? I've put a little bowl of water in for the humidity, but have mo way to measure the humidity so should I add another bowl? (the incy was a panic solution this morning when my broody hens decided not to be broody any more and I found cold eggs first thing! I've candled them and can see movement and heard the ldest one cheep)
All advice gratefully received!

Sit on your hands!  Leave the eggs well alone.  They have aaaaaaages to go yet if they are not due til Sunday (I know as I have an incubator full due on Sunday)!

oooooo - thanks so much for replying so quickly  - I hope nothing happens until Sunday coz I have to go away tomorrow morning (back sunday) and the incy will be left in the care of my two little girls and Grandma! What should I tell them? Just to keep an eye? I know if the chicks hatch, they don't need anything for 48 hrs so I'm not worried about food, but I'm worried I won't be there if the chicks need helping out of their shells?? Ooooh - this is worse than being pregnant myself!! :blink:
