So last month I finally got a thermostat and built an incubator(with alot of help from you guys here on BYC). I took 16 eggs from my own chickens and kept them in the bator. on day 9 or 10 there was a major electricity failure and the lights went out for about 14 hours. We do have a generator but that too needs a rest after a couple of hours. So my incubator was without electricity twice for about 3 hours.
I had lost all hope, but i let the eggs be in the bator and hoped for a miracle. Today is the 19th day and I just saw a crack which is getting bigger by the minute.
OMG it just hatched
Ok this was quick I'm not even ready for this, I thought it'll take 21 days.
Can someone please tell me what to do?
How long should i let it be in the incubator??
What will it eat after 24 hours?
What do i have to do now?
Please help this is my first chick ever
