Sometimes if they are extra wet/sticky at hatch it takes them a few days to fluff up. Still very cute!

That is due to the humidity. If you dry hatch you will not have wet/sticky chicks anymore.

I have been so spoiled...hatched my last 2 dozen chicks under a broody. No wet chicks there either!

Thanks guys for the hugs.

Sunnycali- you might try taking of the mister attachment and soaking them in vineagar. they might just be clogged a little. Or there is alot of dirt that goes through the lines that could clog them up.

How do you do dry hatch? Is it the dry incubation method? Do you have good results with it? I've never tried it, but have read some about it.
Thanks!!!

Ra, your post is SO FUNNY! I have a STOO-PID question, is Tribbles something you made up for your birds or is there an actual strain/variation called a tribble. And yes I am old enuf to remember Cap'tn Kirk and "The trouble with Tribbles" episode. It was one of my favorites......

Tumbleweed really is a cutie too!
