How do I count the days? Count the days of incubation from the first day the eggs are placed in the incubator. If placed in the a.m. that day would be Day 1; if placed in the p.m. that day would be Day 0, the next day would be Day 1.
What is considered day 1 of incubation?
As a rough guide, if they go into the incubator in the early morning, I count that as day 1. However if they go in any time after mid-day, I count that as day 0 and the following day as day 1. An egg doesn't have a full day's development until it's been incubated for 24 hours.
Do you turn eggs on Day 1?
Day 1-18: Turning the eggs Eggs must be physically turned to prevent the developing chick from sticking to the shell. More scientifically, the embryo should be resting on top of the yolk.
What is the difference between incubation and hatching?
