Very interesting bumpercarr. I vill keep that in mind. I have decided to keep this chick because I think there is a lot I can learn from it, and as was stated if other attributes of this chick are good there is a chance she will be benificial.

What do you mean? Twenty one days just like all other chicken breeds. Or 12-24 hours from pip to exit. I don't think I understand the question...what have you found to be the typical length of time it takes for brahma to hatch?

Generally speaking, they should be consistent with your australorps. I have noticed that when using an incubator that is Styrofoam and has less consistency with humidity that they frequently fall behind the 21 day mark. I don't know if that answers your question. Once I went to an incubator with humidity control, I found that they hatched at day 21 or earlier...some a day later but for the most part the hatch was right on schedule. If your eggs are shipped, there is always an issue with hatching, whether it is early or late, low hatch rates, shrink wrapped chicks, etc...shipped eggs are just a challenge regardless of your equipment (although a little more successful if your equipment is good).mine are hatching 24-48 hours later than my australorps. I am asking if the standard 21 days is also consistent with this breed and my strain is slower by about 36 hours.

Hope that helps.
