    why are my chickens not drying off?

    Hello again, Our chicks are still pretty wet and they have been hatched for about 12-24 hours! some background info: our incubator does not have a measuring tool for us to see what the humidity is inside. should we move them out of the incubator so they dry? Thanks in advance!

    Help me please! Chick with deformed feet

    Help me please! Chick with deformed feet
