    Chicks fighting! Is this normal??

    Should I be worried if my chicks are fighting? They do it a lot and I am worried that they might hurt each other if this continues into adulthood. Does the fighting mean that they are boys? Any knowledge of this would be much appreciated. Thanks x

    Eggs pipped but not hatched

    one of my eggs pipped at least 5 hours ago and still hasn’t started zipping around yet, should I be worried about it and do I need to do anything? Also my other two eggs haven’t pipped yet, does anyone else’s eggs hatch at very different times?

    High humidity during incubation

    my Incubator is set to 45% humidity and has been 60-65% for the first few days and it won’t go down, I have tried setting it lower and opening vents but it doesn’t make a difference. Will this affect my chicks development/hatching and does anyone know how to lower the humidity in thier incubator?
