Title: Day 21?
Post by: bealers on April 01, 2013, 11:06:08 am

Hi,

Can I just quickly check my understanding regarding the day counting for incubating hen eggs?

Day 0 - March 14th eggs insterted (incubator had been left on 24hrs beforehand)
Day 7 - March 21st - Candling
Day 18 - Today - Last turn and also candling, get shot of obviously failed ones
Day 21 - Thurs 4th

Hatching from 20+

Thanks

Sounds about right. Eggs can hatch anytime over quite a few days around day 21.
