some dont start till day 21 some earlier. Depends really. My silkies hatched on day 19-20. What do you have in the incubator?!

You can expect some to start today, but most likely most will hatch tomorrow or the following day. It depennds on how your temp was. If it was on the low side they may not start until days21-22. Good luck and happy hatching

Like people, all chicks have their own timetable. If things were a little cool, it could be later, like day 22-23. Some breeds and an slightly warm incubator would mean day 20 or so.

For me, I start seeing pips in the shell about halfway through day 20, with them hatching 15 or so hours later.

Depends on this chick, I have had some completely hatch within 30 minutes of pipping, (which is unusally quick in my experience). Then some can take 24 hours after they pip to zip and hatch. Sometimes they just get tired and have to take a break to get the energy up to finish hatching. That's my opinion anyways, lol

I had one this morning that pipped before my kids left for school. I thought I'd have plenty of time so since its my day off I wanted to take about an hour nap. Woke up 30 minutes later and heard some loud chirping. It was completely out of the shell. Two others had pipped but now 5 hours later no hatch yet. Hoping my kids will get home from school in time to see the others hatch!!
