hi all,
First timer here and my hatch has taken an interesting turn.
On day 21 and went to bed last night with 2 eggs slightly cracked/pipped.
Woke us this morning and checked and one chick has hatched and seems to have a lot of energy? Is this normal?
With its movement its pushing other eggs about and chirping a lot. It's not even fluffed up yet?!
I have a brooder ready but I'm not sure whether to open the brooder as don't want to compromise the other 10 eggs?
The chick can only have been hatched up to 5 hours.
I'd welcome any advice. As not a clue what to do for the best.
Many thanks
Adam
