I once heard that bantams hatch sooner than others, is this true?because we are on day 21 and nothing..

If the temperature stays lower by a degree or two they may be late to hatch.  Haven't hatched bantams so not sure if they would hatch sooner or not.

If you're talking about an incubator, anything over 102 degrees usually kills them.  Although once I had a kid pull out the temperature sensor and put it back in only half way. It got really hot in there and I couldn't figure out what was wrong until the next day the child told me what happened.   A few of the 42 eggs hatched.

I hope your eggs pull through, I have one bantam in my incubator and I kinda hope they hatch a bit sooner.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed and hope your eggs pull through.

Do you mean the incubator went up to 119? How long did it stay that hot? A spike of a couple minutes might be Ok since the eggs warm and cool more slowly than the air, but that is way too hot for anything to survive for very long.

 

Sorry your having issues, I haven't tried incubating yet, I'm afraid I'd mess it up.
