early hatching?

[naked_neck]

what is the earliest youve had eggs hatch?

i have duck eggs due nov. 4 but i had 3 hatch yesterday abd 3 more tapping. that put them on only day 24! there have been no major temp. changes(maybe a degree off), humidity is fine, and they get turned 3 times a day. it just seems a bit early for them to hatch.

i know development can coutinue if the eggs sat before incubation but it was about 70 degrees and they only sat for a few days. could this have put them that far ahead?

i hatched some geese and they were born 4 days early. i think they were growing when they were sitting there on the counter
