It's Finally Started!

On Monday we were at our 21st day of incubation, but we did not have any pipping yet!  We have been waiting patiently and this morning when I can in, I saw that 2 chicks have started to pip!  The students were so excited to take a look at them.  Since this morning I have noticed a few more that look like they are starting to pip as well - I have even heard some chirping and seen a few of the eggs rocking back and forth!  Here is one picture of the first egg I saw with a crack in it:

(It's a little hard to see, but if you look at the egg right above the thermometer there is a small crack in the shell.)

 

I will update again when we have more progress.  Hopefully by tomorrow we will have some chicks!
