    Should I move new chicks out?

    Thanks for the reply, I had the brooder set up already and was leaning towards taking them out. I was really worried about the remaining eggs getting knocked about. These guys are pretty much dried off, the first one is well over 24 hours old. Everytime I go near the incubator they would pop...

    Recommendations for incubators

    Unfortunately between work and my folks it's not always that easy My dh would jump in if say the power flickered and the controls need resetting or something else drastic happened but he doesn't want to turn eggs . (And I wouldn't miss the actual hatching if I didn't absolutely have to)

    Recommendations for incubators
