In the Brooder
So I have eggs in the incubator and wasn’t sure when they were due to hatch. I thought surely they were at least a week away from hatching so I kept the automatic turner on. I went to inspect about an hour and a half ago and saw one had pipped! I quickly removed the turner and have been watching it since. I will post a few photos
below of what it looks like. I have a feeling it’s in the wrong position?
It had externally pipped and I just watched it internally pip. It seems like it’s swallowing which I’ve read means they are just still absorbing all the nutrients from the yolk ect. However it’s now chirping really loudly. Is this normal? This is my first chick I have hatched in the incubator so I’m very new and very nervous!
