Wow!! How long till they hatch?

Does anyone have any hatching easter eggers?

 

[AmyLynn2374]

Wow!! How long till they hatch?

They should be hatching no later than Tuesday. They weren't set until just after 8pm on a Tuesday, so technically day 21 doesn't start till late Tuesday, but I expect hatching starting late Monday-Tuesday. I'll candle tonight to see if there are any internal pips.

Cool! Post pics when they hatch!

First hatcher out around 2 this afternoon. 5 external pips and all but 2 of the rest were internally pipped.

Aww!! So cute! They're silkies, right?

Hi there, can someone help me please? I've only hatched goose eggs. These are leghorns. The incubator instructions says to stop turning on Day 18, lower temp to 37.2C and increase humidity. But there are still a lot of whites left, shouldnt they be filling up the space in the egg by now? I started these leghorn eggs on 20 Apr, it is Day 18 today right? Do I prepare them for hatching or should I wait for a day or two more? The incubator says to incubate them on 37.6C
