That's normal. They internally pip the day or two before hatching. Yours at day 18 would suggest your incubating bantams or your temp was a bit high so they'll be early. Nothing to worry about and if you use the same thermometer next hatching put a note on it to read it as a degree high. So if you were reading 99 to 100F next time shoot for 98 to 99F. Of course that's only if all hatch by end of day 20, it suggest a degree high if large fowl eggs.
