This is our first time using this incubator

A picture of the egg or the incubator?

Hi all! I’m on my second hatch, and I have a chick that I candled day 18, only fills about half the egg. I can see it moving inside, but it doesn’t look as big as it’s supposed to be by this time. What are your thoughts on the hatch? Does this happen from time to time with a successful hatch?

I’m brooding indoors, but they are going to live with my in laws and I think they plan to move the little guys outdoors pretty quickly. We are about 40s at night and 60-80 in the days coming up.

Hi y’all! We are super loving growing these baby chicks! I am using a brooder plate and it’s getting to its higher adjustment. The chicks are 3 weeks old. When do you remove the brooder plate for good? Do you put something else in the brooder for them to nest in? Thanks!!

Do you do real or dried mealworms?

I did this! They loved it! How often should you do this?

What snacks or treats can you give baby chicks? Mine are 3 days to a week old.

We had to get 4 more. My kids are in heaven and so excited!

Is it ok to put them together this soon if I run and grab one tonight from tractor supply?

Do you think that he will be ok for a couple of weeks until I can get another chick about the same age? How do I find a chick young enough to put with him?

Thank you! It hatched this morning and is in his brooder and dry now. Only one hatched from the eggs that I had. 2 stopped developing and 1 was not fertilized. My kids have been watching the little guy all day and are anxious to hold him but I was afraid of letting them hold him too soon.

Hi everyone! We just hatched our first chick and are super excited! I was wondering at what age you start handling them and for how long at a time so they don’t get stressed out?
