It’s my first time incubating Bantam eggs. I have hatched standard breeds and duck eggs before. All my Bantams are developing at the same rate except for one. It has less yolk left and it seems like it could be two days ahead of the others and the others seem to be a day ahead of the standards I’ve hatched before. What’s odd, is that it’s air cell is smaller. Maybe it just won’t hatch? I’ve also heard that Bantams can hatch earlier. I was planning lockdown for day 18, but should I go with day 17? I am on day 14 and just candled. I also candled on day 7 and everything seemed the fine. All of the fertilized eggs are still alive and well. No explosions or rotten eggs. The incubator ranges from 99.4 to 99.8. My humidity ranges from 40-45%. Should I lower/raise the temps at all? They are all EE bantams from an EE hen and rooster from a hatchery. Any advice would be great! I could just be worried for no reason!
