I have a baby chicken that hatched around 3 pm day 17. Weird no?

Was it a bantam? I had one hatch that early because a broody had been sitting on it for a night before I collected it.
 
Hmm. Any broodies in your flock? What temp was the incubator at? Was it very hot when you collected the egg?
 
I live in sc. It does get 100 degrees now. I make sure to pull my eggs daily. Infact I pulled it and put right in incubator so far seems healthy

Those look an awful lot like Silkie or Silkie mix chicks. They are a bantam breed and can hatch as early as 17 days.
 
Oh, my bad. It appears those are older silkie chicks and aren't the ones in question. It's the black one that hatched early. Whoops!
