external pipped on day 19!

[faith5]

This is my second time hatching chicks in the incubator. We are currently in the middle of day 19. Three chicks have already external pipped. Is this okay? Should I be worried?

I've had early pippers, it can happen. A chick will hatch when it feels like it's ready.

Are you hatching standards, or Bantams?

That’s a relief! I am hatching standards

Early pippers usually wait until day 20-21 before they hatch alot of the time. But you might have chicks tonight.

One of them seems to be working non stop so there’s gotta be at lest one that will hatch within the next 12 hours. I’m just hoping that if any do, that they have already absorbed their yolk.

They should have their yolks absorbed completely before hatching.

My chicks usually hatch on day 19-20. I've never has a single chick hatch out on the 21st, not even naturally hatched ones!

Yep!

Mine, mainly Orpington eggs like hatching on day 24-25. Last ones hatched on day 23.

Really?! That’s cool! My chicks seem to look that they might hatch on day 19 or 20 as well
