Whats the EARLIEST hatched and lived?

[Chosen Chickens]

my eggs are on day 18 and I am already hovering over the bator waiting for something to happen.... just curious, what is the earliest a chicken has hatched and still survived?

I had one hatch just as day 20 began. Beautiful French Black Copper Maran

Are you saying internal pip because you can already here them chirping or by some other way?

I just had a successful hatch with 20 eggs - all hatched - they started on day 19 and were DONE by day 20. This morning (day 21) the last one was drying off in the incubator.
