They Started Hatching!!!

[pauljv]

So far I have 3 of 24 hatched on day 20. The humidity has bumped up to 90 though what should I do? When should I take the hatched ones out? So many questions. This is my first experience with hatching eggs and my kids are in awe. I will try to post some pics in a bit. This is amazing!!

The hatching chicks cause the humidity to rise as they dry off. You will leave the chicks until they are dry and fluffy. You can use a soft toothbrush to finish fluffing the chicks before putting them in the brooder.
You don't tell us what type of incubator you are using. If the incubator has little red caps in the top, you can remove them to allow the humidity to lower to about 65 degrees.

Yes, hatching chicks is addictive.
