Day 18- went to remove turner and lock down. I have a pip? Several are in there airspace. Do smaller eggs hatch earlier? I recounted days and I have a mix of shipped and my flock eggs. 100 degree +/- 1 decgree was maintained. The only thing different this time was I really left them alone compared to other hatches. For future reference do sizzle and millie eggs require different incubation time or temp due to size?
yep! you have a pip! normally smaller and bantam breeds hatch earlier. I had a pip day 19, and hatch on 20. time and temp stays the same even with bantam breeds. if you alter anything they don't hatch. for some reason smaller develops faster. it always seems to work that way.
what I am coming to is the fact that the way people invented incubators.....the mother hens had always hatched themselves....through the evolution f hatching certain breeds may becoming more prone and need less days of hatch.....you just have to be careful all blood is drained in the egg veins....if all this makes sense.
Hope this helps!
