    I don't think any of them would have ate a baby chick? They are silkies.

    When do I move the hatched chick?

    I have 10 eggs in the hovabator. One just hatched! This is my first time and I keep reading conflicting info on when to take that chick out and put in a brooder with water and food. Some things say within 24 hrs, some say they left theirs in there for 48-72 hours. I'm really confused!

    My Silkie had one egg pipped but I didn't check anymore. This is day 21. I guess I thought at day 21 they'd be hatched and fluffy?
