Please post your average time between internal and external pips.

I just want kind of an idea of time variations. From chirp to external will help as well.

It can vary quite a bit, but 7 hours is the average, I believe.

Thank you, just asking everyones, looked for two hrs for info and couldnt find it anywhere.

There is a record on the timeline of a chick hatching here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101

Only took mine 5 hrs

That's quick! I've had chicks take up to 30 hours. Nerve. Wrecking. lol

From internal to external? I wouldn't know, I never candle after lockdown. Average time from external to hatch would be 12 hrs for the first, then the others average around 6

Thanks scflock ya I dont candle either but I did hear chirping so I kinda went by that.
