Mrs. Beth, how long do you normally wait before you candle, how many days?

Here's my second homemade incubator. I will be setting my eggs this am.I don't think it will count now but I finally have stayed at the correct temp and humidity for over 24 hours.
My husband made this one out of duct board or duct panel.And added a frame from my plastic tote so I can watch.Wish me luck
I'm super excited.

I've never had a bantam hatch on day 18. Not even tiny Sablepoots

 

[Ted_Harrell]

The duct board should net you some stable temps, good luck....

Maybe. I thought it was just the breeds I have but my large sized eggs hatch early a lot too.
