They should hatch pretty much at Easter.
Every time we do it I never really believe they will hatch as it seems so unlikely that this thing can pretend to be a mother chicken. This one is very high tech and keeps the humidity constant as well as rocking them from side to side to simulate the chicken turning the eggs (the yolk sticks to the inside of the shell if it rests on the same spot all the time).
They will take 21 days to hatch and we will stop them being turned and increase humidity on day 18.
It has been raining quite a bit which means that quite a few of the eggs are a bit muddy. This isn't meant to be great for the hatch rate but we shall see.
