yeah!! congrats on the new little ones. I the past, if my temp throughout the incubation has been closer to 101.5, my chicks hatch on day 19...

That makes sense because i did keep temp a little higher than usual.Especially first week I had temp around 102 then I dropped it to 100.5 for 2nd week.When I move to lockdown incubator I lower temp to 99°.
