Day 21! Pipping and Peeping!!!


So, I don't know if we miscalculated or if this is just a fluke, but we weren't expecting any pipping until tomorrow and I have THREE eggs pipping!  Pipping is the process that the chicks use to get out of the egg.  Basically pipping is when you see holes in the eggs and little baby beaks working to try to break the egg open.  Once an egg starts pipping you still have to wait a long time (sometimes several hours) for the chick to break open the shell.

We also have a lot of peeping from chicks that are still inside the shells.  I love this part.  The anticipation!  The anxiety!  The egg-citement! 

You will be hearing from me a lot today! 

It's a great day to be a Chick Lover!
