I've seen both ...

Day 1 is 24 hours from the time you set the eggs.
Day 1 is the day you set the eggs.

So, am I on day 19 or 20?

also...my humidity is fluctuating between 55 and 69 ~ is that ok? Having a hard time stabilizing it.

Thanks everyone!
 
i would think that day 1 is the first 24 hours starting the second u set the eggies to the 24 hour after
 
If I set eggs in the mornings or around noon I count that as day one, if I set eggs late in the evenings I count the next day as day one.

I use humidity levels for day 1 thru 18 at 40 to 50% range, usually low 40s.

Last 3 days I bump the humidity between 60 to 70%.
 
I am not sure how to count either. I set mine 11:30 P.M.
on March 13. The eggs began to pip April 2 and hatch April 3.
I did add 3 eggs about 13 hours later. First hatched 6:22 A.M.. Sixth at 7:22 P.M.. Two left to go.

This is lkely no help as temp, humidity and ventilation affect
the hatch.

Thanks everyone. I put mine in at about 1:00 on the 15th and called that day one. I'm at day 20 with nothing. I think (unless my eyes were playing tricks) I saw 2 jiggle a little. Maybe some will hatch before the weekend is over.
