    Hey guys, gonna take the chicks to their new homes today and tomorrow. Should I take out the duck eggs and clean out the incubator and put the duck eggs back in a clean incubator?? Also, my last chicken egg hasn't hatched or pipped. It's day 25. Do you think it's bad?

    Also, traveling with the chicks to bring them to their new home, do I have to have the heat lamp for travel? Mine has to be plugged into the wall. It's about a 15 minute drive.
