Incubation period for pekin bantam eggs?

I'm trying to incubabte pekin bantam eggs for the first time, and am wondering what their incubation period is?

I've searched on the 'net and seen various websites giving the incubabtion period for bantam eggs as 18, 19 and 21 days...

I'm really just trying to work out when I should stop turning mine...

i would say around 18 days
but it
depends on bantam egg size

ya aprox day 18 thats what i do and works ok with pekins iv often had serama hatch on day 17 the eggs are tiny but the serama hens are tiny things the size of a tin of peas.. small eggs hatch bit sooner even with the smaller call duck eggs wil be 2 days before the others.. good luck wit ur hatch

its 21 days i had a hatch there last week and from six eggs all six hatched on the 21st day.Stop turning day 18

all poultry hatch 21 or 22 days
