Incubation Duration

My hatchlings this year are all strong and very healthy.  No problems whatsoever in my opinion.  From the 4 hatches so far this year, all have started hatching on day 20 and finished up on day 21.  Only one chick so far has hatched on day 22.

I put in new motors and added automatic humidity kits (pan w/ humidity pads, float valve, and the feeder tank) into my incubator and hatcher.  The combination of the two fixed my humidity problems I had last year.  I can adjust the humidity to pretty much however I want it to be with the addition/removal of the number of pads and opening/closing of fresh air vents.

This not only has made for healthier, stronger chicks but increased my hatches.

I agree with you that hatching a day early makes for stronger chicks.
