    Do you clean an incubator before use?

    Day Old chick under brooder wont stop chirping

    The chick is a day old and is healthy. It is alone because the other chick needs to stay in the incubator for a couple more hours. I placed the chick under the brooder for the night but it wont stop chirping very loudly. What should I do?

    I put 36 eggs into the incubator and 23 days later one hatched! The chick is the only one to have completely hatched so far. It hatched last night and now it is all fluffed up and healthy.
