Steamed up the bathroom and moved them to the brooder.

Quote: I don't know, but I hope it is OK. We have 7 chicks in the bator now One more almost out..and a few more pips. This out of 20 eggs. Two of them chicks pipped, and started zipping, but now nothing, no movement or anything for almost 24hours. I am afraid they didn't make it...
