I have not done the test of sticking it in a half melted cup of ice because it is also a hygrometer and is what I used all throughout incubation. I have one more egg I am hoping will hatch and I have another one in there. The chicks were huddled together under it, but when I came back maybe 20...

Ok thank you! I just checked on them and I don’t know that I trust the thermometer, since it says 102 and they are curled up underneath it

the little whitish chick has five toes and feathered feet!!! :eek::celebrate

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the brooder is supposed to be at 95 degrees Fahrenheit at first right?

Ok awesome thanks everyone! I have the puppy pad in there and everything. When I know for sure the brooder is at a stable temp, when I put them in, do I offer food and water immediately? Or wait?

Yes I do. I can use those?

So I don’t even know what I was thinking, but I just realized I don’t have shavings. I have soft wood pellets though. Will these work? Or should I rush to the feed store?

Here they are!

Oh my goodness the other just busted out!!! I for real peaked one last time before walking away and the shell separated

Well, the egg that externally pipped after the first wasted no time in zipping and breaking out!! My concern is its dragging the shell since it’s attached still. I’m new so I want to do what’s right! I’m so excited!! And as far as temperature… I kinda just have to leave it since the other side...

Hey yall we are on day 20, and the eggs have started to hatch, I only see three mostly developed eggs so I’m guessing our max hatch would be 3. Well this morning while I was gone at a horse show a family member texted me so excited that one started to hatch. That was around 6am this morning when...
