3 of them are ready to get out of the bator....what do i do tho???????

[DANNY]

I have took them out when i got ready. I just spray the eggs to replace the miosture lost it won't hurt anything. I have been hatching eggs for many years and i read all these posts where people blame bad luck on opening the incubator. I just don't think that is the problem as long as you don't let your humidity get low and the membranes dry out. After all that's what the extra humidity is for. If you notice the membranes turning yellow that's when you need to spray them.

wow!!! 3 days!! dang...thought they only had enough strength from the yolk sac for 48 hrs?? That's a good game plan, thanks. Got the brooder alll ready with the infa-red heat lamp. The first one is 26 hrs old....the next two are 10 hrs old, and the next two are 4 hrs old.

They are fluffing up nicely, no serious wetness at all. Would it be ok for me to take them all out at once?? Or would it be bad due to the age difference?

They can live off the yolk for 72 hours.

If the younger ones are mostly dry, then you can remove them, but make sure they get under the heat lamp and dry off the rest of the way.

How many more eggs are in there??

Also, when you get them in the brooder, get some pictures!! lol
