How long to INcubate?

[MyAustin616]

Hi, so im new to the whole incubation process, i have been reading online how long to incubate... but have seen several diff. times.. so please tell me if im correct!!

Chicken eggs-21 days, stop turning on the 18th day

Now I am also hatching guinea, peacock, m. mutant pheasant & button quail eggs... I am good on the BQ eggs, but the others im not so sure... Help please!!

Guineas - 28 days - but many of us have had them hatch early around day 25 - 26.

Peacocks - 28 days.

button quail - 16 days.

I would recommend you go to the library and check out a book on hatching - or search google and find the best recommended fowl book on hatching.

Read read read. Learn learn learn. Then try your first hatch.

Ok I feel dumb by not thinking of the library for chicken books rather then buying them all!

Thanks Miss Prissy!
