They take 28 day. They are fun to hatch out! Just make sure you mist them everyday!

thanks so much.. I guess I go on lockdown tonihgt then. 28 days will be Saturday. I am a bit worried about my humidity... it gotreally high today. Don't want to go this far and drown them. I need around 65 on lockdown... correct????? thanks for the reply

I usually leave my hatched chicks in for 12 - 24 hrs. I forgot how many eggs you set & how many are still unhatched. If it seems like time to remove the chicks to you then you are doing what's best. Congrats on your hatch so far!

Well I did take pics but need to finish up outside I have 33 chicks with another zipped resting to get out soon I hope so that leaves 4 eggs that I thought were good and 3 that I didn't think would hatch I don't know where the water goes but the well was dry when I took the chicks out humidity was 50 so I filled it up again and put a damp paper towel under the one that was zipping very strong chick rolling around so I think that it will be able to finish without more help. I think another was rocking so I might get a couple more I'll keep adding water. I started with 51 eggs total locked down with 41 all shipped eggs so I'm very pleased

Great hatch so far! Congrats! You did goot!

That was a good find & move on your part to keep those eggs going. Best wishes!

Of my two eggs that are now at day 20 I have one pip. I seriously think this is going to be the only egg to hatch out of 14. i still have 7 others that go into lock down in 4 days.

Yeah, hatching! It always amazes me, how an egg can usually survive such temp changes to hot or cold. We look forward to pics if you can.
