So Far - So Good

We have 32 RIR eggs in the bator hatching right now. Out of the 32, 15 have hatched and a bunch more have pipped and working their way out. Being new to the incubating process, I find this whole process amazing and check it every 5 min lol. The is only our 2nd batch and like the 1st, these are all hatching on day 20 instead of day 21, is this normal for RIR's?
I will give updates as it moves along.

CONGRATS!!

Sounds like it's going to be a long night for you. I've got eggs pipping right now too so I'll be right there with you.

If your temps were a tad high they'll hatch early. Also sometimes they just seem to be in a hurry to come out and play.

Is it normal to have condensation on the windows?

The chicks are raising such a ruckas that the dog keeps going into the kitchen to see whats going on.

It seemed that the temp was always right around 100 - 100.3.
