They all huddled like a ball at first, for like 5mins till the temp got more stable from 95 to 100. Then they spread out a bit. I'll bring the water closer to them when i get home i guess.
Day 18... i removed all 14 that hatched yest. to the brooder. Left the other 4 eggs in the incubator. lets see what happens with those. After placing them in the brooder they huddled and moved around for few minutes until they calmed done and began napping.
Is this normal for them to be...
I think they prob hatched more afternoon then morning. The one that just hatched didn't look too much different in dryness an hour later then the others. Just checked again and now I have 14 out of 18. I will wake up a lil earlier 6am to move all to the brooder.
Just saw another egg with a crack and moving. I will wait till the morning tomorrow to remove the 12 that hatched today. By then the twelve should be dry and would still be less then 24hrs that they completely hatched.
So i just got home Day 17 and have 12 of the 18 eggs hatched. Great hatch considering usps delayed me 2days.
They hatched some time during i was at work. when should i transfer them to the brooder? i see that some of them are moving around quite easily while a few are lying down as if sleeping.
When should i expect hatch and when should i remove eggs from egg turner.
I placed Texas A&M eggs on Fri 12th 6pm. Temp has been steady at 100 and humidity40-50.
Thanks
