1 chick hatched and rolled the other eggs?

[rvt311]

I have 4 silkies, 2 Americana and 2 guinea eggs all in my incubator. Well, last night one chick came early. Today is 21 days for everyone. I get up this morning to check and find that the chick had moved all my eggs around. :-/ I'm like great! I hope they all still hatch. Has this happened to anyone? I know your not supposed to rotate them on the last couple of days. Is there something I should do? None of the eggs have started hatching out. Also. When do I take the chicks out of the incubator and start to feed? I'm new at this! Lol

Thanks!!

the guineas dont hatch till like 28 days

As said above, chicks hatch at 21 days and guineas hatch at 28 days. As for the chicks, they all usually roll around and bump into each other and that's no problem. I've actually read that this helps stimulate the others to hatch. I've never set guineas and chicks together. Hopefully you have some luck!
