Most chicks should hatch within a 24-hour period. Late-hatching chicks may lack vigor or be abnormal. After the chicks are dry and fluffy, they can be removed from the incubator. Or you can lower the incubator temperature to about 95 degrees F if you plan to keep the chicks in the incubator for one or two days. Clean the incubator after the chicks hatch, so it will be ready for the next time.
Sanitation is an important part of incubation.
Throw out the crinoline or cheesecloth, along with the shells and other remains. Clean the inside of the incubator with soap and water, and let it dry before storage. The chart at below lists approximate incubation periods for poultry and game birds species in small incubators. Recommendations for chicken eggs generally apply to hatching eggs or other species. However, waterfowl require greater humidity.
