All Good Chicks Hatch in 20 Days
Many people have an erroneous idea in regard to the time required for hatching. If the temperature has been carried at a correct point during the entire period the eggs will begin to pip on the afternoon of the 19th day, and the morning of the 20th day should find the youngsters coming out of the shells like Pop Corn over a hot fire if the eggs have been of proper strength, but on the morning of the 21st day the hatch should be completed. Generally speaking, chicks which hatch later than the 21st day are weak, and while they may come along for a time, when placed in the Brooder House they generally snuff out, and add to the list of mortalities.
