∙ 15y agoIt really depends on what the temperature is outside or in your coop? Usually, they'll need one until they are fully feathered. 90-95 F for the first day and then lower 5 degrees each week. If they are peeping constantly, they are cold; if they are panting, it is too hot.

∙ 15y agoThe lamp used must be powerful enough to bring the temperature in the brooder box up to 100 degrees F. Higher temperatures will result in a poor hatch or no hatch at all while lower temperature will delay hatch.
Use of a thermometer is absolutely necessary. Place the thermometer at the same level and in the same area as where the eggs will be. Use of a water dish to provide humidity is also required. Egg must be rolled at least once per day more if possible.

∙ 15y agoWhile many home incubators now use a 100 watt blue or red bulb, a regular 100 watt bulb is used as well. Heat can be adjusted by raising the height of the bulb in the incubator box and venting the lid. Once the eggs are hatched the red or blue bulb helps prevent picking by other birds while they are growing in the brooder box.

∙ 12y agoNO, an egg will not hatch out under a heat lamp. The egg needs a "certain maintained" temperature - plus it needs a set constant moisture in order for the chick to develop. And it also needs to be turned at least once every 24 hours. You need a special incubator for eggs to hatch properly and end up with a healthy chick.
A heat lamp will just dry out the egg and it will rot.

How long will it take a chicken egg to hatch under a light?
The light provides heat. The ideal heat for hatching fertilized eggs is between 99.5F and 100.5F with about a 50% humidity rate. Once the eggs have been collected then it will take about 21 days to hatch the eggs under these conditions. Varied temperatures and drafts on the eggs can slow embryo growth.
