The hatching rate of chicks decreases significantly the longer they are kept at a cooler temperature (around 65 degrees F) before being put into an incubator. At low enough temperatures there will be no cell division however at the proper temperature of 99.8 degrees F the heart is visible and there are signs of blood circulation and heart beat at two days after the start of incubation.
It is not recommended to keep eggs more than 5 days without incubation because they become weak and the hatching rate significantly decreases with time.

∙ 12y agoIt takes a chicken 21 days to hatch. Rather it's under a hen or in a incubator. Although if the incubator temperature is a little high,lets say 100.5 - 101 they may hatch a day early. If it's to low,lets say 97-98.5 it may take a day longer. Any temperature under 97 or over 102 for very long,they probably wont hatch or will have problem after hatching.
