I was wondering if chicks/ducklings/geese hatch out fater in the day (since its light), than at night. All of my incubators are in our office, and I have some goslings due to hatch out now. 2/4 have pips. Would they hatch out faster if I kept the light on at night, or not? Just wondering if the light has anything to do with the speed of their hatch.

I don't think so. If they were under their momma's it would be totally dark.
