Welcome to byc
First of all, what type of eggs are you incubating ?
Chicken eggs begin to pip on the 20th day.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I'll leave your questions to the people with incubation experience. Never did it. Don't think I want to.

Don’t like using incubators either. Have only done it once with an “okay” hatch. I prefer to have a broody hen hatch and raise her chicks naturally.

Absolutely! If you're 'lucky' enough that one goes broody when you are ready for a new batch of chicks. That is what I'm hoping for.

DobieLover What are the advantages of a broody hen compared to an incubator? I have both options and I would like to know which is better.

Just to add--eggs generally don't do a ton of moving around until they're actively pipping, which, with chicken eggs, should be about day twenty or twenty-one.
