I incubated over 30 eggs, some Cream Legbar, RIR, two banty, and some EEs, and all have hatched but 6. They started hatching two days early. Hatch day was suppose to be today.i have them in an Incuview that has the hatch timer on it and a set temp of 99.5 so I was suprised when they started early.
I started out with 36, culled 4 so that gave me 32 left. One CL looked iffy but I left it just in case, but Im sure that one wont hatch. The rest are RIR and EEs.
So my question is, how long should I wait before figuring they are done? The ones still in there have shown no piping.
Thanks.
 
Usually a hatch finishes up within 48 hours from first to last, but that is for same or like breeds. With multiple breeds, I give the ones that are left 48 hours from the time that the first one of that same breed hatched.
 
So far, with today being hatch day, not one has pipped. However, the other incubator with my barnyard mix are popping out one after the other. They started this morning and so far nearly half has hatched with more piping.
On a side note, one if the CLs seems to have splay leg. I put a bandage on it but he keeps falling over. Should I be concerned? The other chicks keep running over top of him.
