Hi there, I'm using the brinsea advance and it's my first time. I have 6 chicken eggs and I'm down to day 1. Is day 1 considered day 20 of incubation? Will I see any signs today?could they hatch? I feel like I'm spending most of my time looking at them to see if there's any pipping!! Thanks super excited

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Are you using the mini advance? If so I would say yes you would be on day 20 of incubation. They could pip and yes they could hatch!! 21 days is just a guide though and they will hatch when they are ready I'm afraid. They dont take into account the worry they cause us!!

I've locked some eggs down today and I have been constantly looking for wobbling or pips but nothing yest here.

Good luck with your hatch and enjoy BYC

Hi Ashley and welcome to BYC,

Yes, you do need a brooder pen immediately - even a cardboard box will do, along with a heat source.
