Day 14 silkie incubatoring

[PoultryLady2023]

I have 7 silkie eggs in the incubator they are day 14. I was told that they silkies hatch earlier. Do I need to put them in on the 16th or 19th day

They don't look that far along, how are you temperatures? Do you have a back up thermometer to be sure of temperature?

That's my backup

They system just be a bit behind. I'd lock down any time you want, turning is only essential from, eh, day 4 to day 15, but it doesn't hurt to turn daily before and to stop a bit early.

Do I need to turn the heat up since they look a little bit behind

Mm, I wouldn't. They'll just be a few days behind.
