Actually I won't be home during the daytime for two more days so as expected I'm very anxious to see them. We do have starter and a chick watering jar out already. I guess waiting a couple of days won't hurt anything. This isn't my first hatch or I probably wouldn't have the patience to wait. :-)
I have a broody hen that sat on 7 eggs and at day 18 they all looked viable so I assume most or all have hatched (they started yesterday). Yesterday and today I've only seen her after dark so the new chicks are under her. Will it be ok to go out since it's dark and raise her up and look under...
