5 hatch early then nothing?

Hi all,

Im sure this question has probably been asked before but there are so many threads I can't seem to find the answer or maybe even reassurance

I need.

This is my first incubator hatch, we have had a mix of chicken breeds(2 bantams, 4 sussex, 4 Wyandotte, 2 Barnvelder and 2 Plymouth rock), all temps and humidity are good and on track with no major fluctuations.

The Bantams hatched on day 18 as did 1 Plymouth (although a few hours after the bantams) then on day 19 to 20 a Sussex and a Barnvelder hatched.

Its now day 22 and nothing has happened since, The Wyandotte eggs are rather large so Im expecting them to take a bit extra.

Is this normal? we still have the Sussex, Plymouth, Barnvelder and the bigger Wyandottes in there.

Day 18?! Wow.. Never ever had an egg hatch that early. That is lockdown day!

I have had eggs hatch as late as day 23, but never any later.

My last broody batch, she hatched hers 3 days early. I also had a silkie hatch on days 24-25. Yup.

No sooner had I increased the humidity they pipped and zipped.

I just hope the rest are still good.
