21 Days and still nothing...

Do not open the bator until the oldest one is at most 2-3 days old, unless they are all hatched. If they all hatch before then, you need to leave them there until they are all dried off and fluffy!

Good luck on the hatch..I just showed hubby last nite your bator with eggs so now I showed wit chick..I wish you luck..I am due in a day or two..I just can't wait first time..CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Thanks...Man that bator almost seems to small, when he is standing up..

The other eggs are doing nothing...When he is dried i would like to move him to the brooder..It is indoors and is nice and warm at 100 degrees...

Just so he has some room to move around...when he sits up his head touches the top of bator...

Is that ok for me to move tonight when he is dried and fluffy?

It should be fine as long as the other eggs are not pipped. You could go ahead and candle the eggs while you have it open. Put a stuffed animal and a small mirror in the brooder with it to keep it company.

 

[bkbingham]

ok ...I got the brooder to 95 degrees..that should be ok right?

When I candle..am I looking for movement in the air pocket? Cause there Brown and not very visible in the other part.

 

[shelleyd2008]

How big is your brooder? You want it to be 95 under the light, but lower than that farther away, so the chick can cool off if it is too hot.
