Gloss-Hen Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Well 2 weeks ago I popped some silkie eggs in the incubator. My grandma went into the room we keeping in the incy in and said she heard some cheeping. I know her hearing probablay is'nt the best but she said she swore she heard something. I went into there after and a egg was rolled over The incubator is fine and i have been turning them daily Do chicks sometimes hatch a week early or is it our imagination?

Redwing Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I had one hatch where the chicks all sprang out days early but normally they go the full 21 days Good luck with your hatch, I am glad these ones are developing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You just never truly know when they might hatch after 2 weeks have gone. So many factors affect hatching. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
