Help! Temperature question

[chknfrmr]

I set my eggs on a Monday and the majority hatched on Sunday (day 20). Did I have the incubator too warm? Do I need to drop my temp by .5 to 1 degree? It seems like my thermometer could be slightly off.

Thanks,

Lamar

It happens sometimes. It may have been running a few degrees hot, but if you if you had a good hatch I wouldn't worry about it. If you're worried about though, get a couple thermometers and put them at various levels in your incubator. That should help you figure out the average temp you're running.

There could have been many variables in the hatching a day early. Your humidity could have been high or your temp was to high. All of your chicks should be fine though because one day isn't bad it's when you get them hatching like day 18 or 19 is when you should be worried.
