    Incubator fluctuates between 97 and 100

    Is 97 too low?

    Does this baby chick seem sick? (10 sec video)

    Here is a really short video of our only baby chick. She hatched 2 days ago and seems lethargic and looks like it's panting. We are keeping the brooder at 95f and the humidity at around 60%

    Day 23 and still no hatching or any signs of life

    We have carefully followed all the online tips and techniques for incubating these eggs. Halfway through this process we candled them and saw the little guys wiggling inside the shell. Today is the 23rd day and so far nothing. We have not candled them again or picked them up to listen for any...

    Day 20... should I be hearing something?

    Aren't these supposed to make a noise by this time?

    Came in from the yard and the temperature in my incubator was 108F...

    Is that a death sentence? I immediately took the top off and fanned like crazy to get the temp back down. Once cooled down I candled some of the eggs and saw movement inside.

    How long do baby chicks stay in the brooder?

    We have 9 eggs incubating and July 5th is the projected hatch date. I was wondering how long we should keep them in the brooder before it's safe to move them into the coop. Thanks in advance!
