I have a chicken egg hatching at 17 days. Heard it piping, thought it was a duckling coming 2 days early, nope chicken egg. 21 days is Friday, temp is 99.5 by two thermometers. Anyone ever had this happen?
 
What’s your humidity at? That could be the reason, and try putting a kitchen thermometer in there to see if it’s actually 99... Some incubators 99 but are actually like at 101 Or 102 which makes them hatch early)but not in a good way)
