Thank you everyone for the help. I really appreciate and love this thread. I am determined to save this chick because he is so cute.

Ok I need help from y'all. One of my chickens has been experiencing pasty butt, and I have been clearing it off and I put ACV in the water and raised the light to lower the temp. After I cleaned it off for the third time, I realized that it looks like his vent was poking out. It was pulsing and...

Thank you. Right now I have SLW and they are pretty docile. I will just put some wire in between until the new ones will be old enough to run.

Congrats everyone on the hatches. I do have one question. I ordered 10 Buff Orps, but they won't ship until the 22nd. Will they be okay to add to my chicks that hatched for New Years? The NYD ones will be 3 weeks. I'm just worried about the pecking order.

Here are my 5 out of 12 eggs. They were early birds yesterday. I'm hoping that more will hatch. "You woke me up from my nap."

I waited until all of the birds that have hatched are dry. If you have other eggs in their that have pipped, leave the chicks because you don't want to lose humidity. The chicks can last three days on their egg yolk.

I have three chicks running around in the incubator. It is so cool, but I am worried about them hurting the other eggs that have pipped but haven't hatched yet. Do I take the ones out, or just leave them?

Congrats to everyone with pips and chicks. To those that are waiting I hope everything goes okay.

I have one hatched, and four others have pipped and are rocking around. I will get pictures up later. This is so exciting!!!!

I have two pipped and they are rocking and chirping. They are early because I set them on the 11th but as long as I have healthy babies I am okay.

I'm right there with you. I was staring down the eggs and I heard some chirps. I told my family and they all think I am crazy because they didn't hear it, but I know I did. I didn't expect them to hatch this early. I haven't seen an external pip, so maybe it is just internal.

Congrats everyone on going into lockdown!!! I just put mine in and can't wait to hear the chirping on NYD.

Congrats on the chicks, and thanks for the advice. I will try that. I just candled and 6 out of the 12 are really developing. All the other ones are quitters, is there a specific reason why? At least I still have half, right?

If you have an early hatcher and pipper, do you still rotate them and can you still open the incubator to prepare for lockdown?

Congrats. I talked my local feed store and unfortunately they only want females, and I don't know how I could sex them.

OK. I lowered it down and adjusted the knob. Thank you for all of the helpful info. I really want my hatch to go great.

I have been reading about keeping the temperatures between 97-100 once your later in the hatch. My temp. right now is around 102. It is a still air. I don't really want to mess with the knob because it is very touchy. Will the eggs be ok with a higher temp?

Finally got caught up on everything. Merry Christmas to all and I hope everyone's hatches are going great!!!

I can't wait to hear all the peeping and chirping!
