Chick 1 is doing great! Eating drinking pooping etc! Chick 2 is still in the incubator. No pip. It’s day 21 today. But the egg inside the incubator is rocking away lol
I haven’t opened it at all, was giving the chick time to dry and rest. I am going to move chick soon because the chick is really rolling the other egg around lol. Once I remove chick I will add a little more water and discard of egg shell pieces. Thanks!!
Should I take out the broken shell from the first chick? The first chick has some shell on it and is still kind of wet around the face. We’re not sure what time it hatched. It was after 11 pm.
Hey! So my humidity is right under 70. Can I open the lid and add more water? Or should I leave it be. Egg 2 has not started pipping yet but I see movement!
okay! Day 20! So one egg pipped yesterday morning and hatched sometime in the early hours of this morning. The second egg which has been incubated the same time period etc has no pipping. Will the hatched chick bother the other egg? Should I take the hatched chick out today once completely dry...
Hey!! Newbie here!
We are on Day 19 of incubation (2 eggs out of the 8 from our wyandottes were fertilized). The humidity and temp levels are great. I have done a ton of research on the incubator and incubation period. Here is where I need some help. We have one pip in one egg. WHAT NOW...
