MerchDuw Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Half came on day 21. Candled the rest - seemed fine. They are now piping on day 24. Any ideas why so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Power cut at some point? Either that or low temp in general I'd guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerchDuw Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 I don't understand it. We've incubated lots of egg and never had this before. We've not had a power cut and the temp/ humidity is well monitered. They're all in the same incubator. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerchDuw Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Yes, all in the same incubator. Some from middle and edge hatched. Well spaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Ours started hatching today and it's day 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 May I ask what breed you are hatching? Iremember when I hatched my cochin from eggs from Wernlas, I was told that they take 22 - 23 days. A day or two longer. It could be the same for your breed. I wouldn't worry so long as they look healthy, strong fully developed chicks upn hatching. Happy Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
