Unusual hatching

[Hyper_Chicken05]

Hi all, I have some eggs in the incubator. 1 chick pipped around 20 minuets ago, but is now fully out!, I’ve hatched before but they all took around a couple hours from pip to hatch. Is this normal for the chick to be hatching this quick? Oh and it is also day 20 so a day early. thanks for your help

Chicks can hatch before 21 days or after it all depends on development and the incubation environment. Some chicks take a few minutes to hatch and I've had some take 2 days to fully get out. I say the sooner the better sounds like a strong chick ready to be out. As long as the chick seems healthy then this is completely normal. Congratulations on your hatch!

I've had silkie bantam egg hatch on day 19 and she was completely healthy and strong.
