Babies hatched, need advice

[PrincessLayer16]

hey all!!

All of our chicks have hatched, the brooder is already heated and set up, with other 3 day old babies. When can I put them in the brooder?
The first chick hatched around 6 this morning and the last one hatched around 7 this evening.

Thanks in advance! This is my first time incubating.

Anytime after they're dried off is fine, the sooner the better. They'll be happier in the brooder and won't be pooping all over your incubator.

As long as they are dry, which it seems like they are, they can go to the brooder! Brooder should be 90-95F.

Congratulations! Cute chicks!!

Thank you so much!!
They seem pretty dry to me and are very active!

I usually wait until they are dried off, and can walk fairly well.
