Anxious Father expecting today with a question

[Tumbleweed Farm]

Will probably zip and be out before bedtime--let us know!

He is out!!!! very fast once it got going!!! The thing is chirping and flapping all around! Knocking into all the eggs. He( or she) looks perfect!

Now, should I leave him in there until he is dry or should I wait until all the eggs are done hatching. I do not see any other pips yet.

They can happily go three days without food or water because they are still benefitting from the absorbed yolk its important not to open the bator while other chicks are pipped or your humidity will drop and chicks in the egg may get shrink wrapped and stuck. Enjoy watching him her its so cute when they fluff up

Ok, excellent! He seems like a happy chick! I was more concerned that he is knocking around all the eggs like bowling pins. Did not want it to affect them hatching.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Will probably zip and be out before bedtime--let us know!

Thank you! Within an hour of you saying that the little guy kicked his way out! He is drying off right now! I see another pip so he will have company soon!

Congrats!!!

Leave her in there and don't open the incubator!! Her banging around on the other eggs should encourage the others to hurry up and come on out. Post pics!
