this is the hen and rooster super tiny

Got this egg and wanna try to incubate it. So my question is normal incubation for chickens? 99.5, forced air, 21 days?

This is him/her Monday night.

The little thing was born about 2:40 Sunday morning

Had a Crack this morning around 8:30 then when I got home around 5 it's a little bit bigger. Super Excited. Can't wait to meet my first grandchick.

Thanks for the help. Gimmie birdies cute babies. I can't wait.

Ok thanks I will do that tonight.

Good humidity is 60 to 65 I have read. Should I start seeing any movement from the egg and when should I hear noises if there will be any. I think I may candle tonight then lockdown.is that a bad idea?

I have one egg due to hatch Friday (4 days) and I am nervous. I check it on day 6 left to go and everything seemed fine. I also have 5 other eggs in the bator that are 5 days behind this one. (Got excited when I seen the baby in egg one and filled my incubator up) so with that being said I know...
