Well just a quick question. I have been hatching some chicks and a few have been hatching out on day 21 which was nice but this is the 2nd hatch in a row that the majority have hatched on day 22 and I am assuming day 23 as there are still some that are in the bator that have pipped. and a few that havent. On those ones I will be doing the water test to see if they are still alive or dead. I am wondering with the majority of them hatching on day 22 should I raise the temp in my incubator to 100? I have been incubating at 99.5-99,7. Let me know what you think. Humidity through the first 18 days is 34-36. then on lock down 62-64. I hatch in a Dickie cabinet incubator with a fan.
 
Last time I checked it was. That is why I am asking also. If I bumped it up to 100 instead of 99.5 wouldnt that speed up the developmental process on the chicks?
