Can I remove hatched chick from incubator

[ChickenGirl555]

So do you all think a divider between the chick and egg would be ok?
Also, could I nudge the eggs a bit and move them?

I think just remove the Chicks as they begin to move around into the Brooder. I always do.

I teach in quick and grab the chick to minimize humidity loss and never had a problem. Just wait until.the chick is mostly dry before removing.

I removed it while it was still a bit wet...Now I'm worried because I left and I won't be back until 5

I provide a mirror and a teddy for the first hatched.

If its mostly dry it should be ok. Ive removed them while like that and put them under the chick heat plate or a heat lamp and they have been fine.
Inside the house I dont use a heatbulb, but a 100w lightbulb. It puts out enough heat to keep them warm. Heres a pic of my setup.

The bulb is close enough to give them the heat they need. Works pretty good.

When can I start feeding and giving it water? Anytime? When I get home it’ll be completely dry.

Yes..I would of provided feed and water once in the Brooder. They figure it out quickly.

The sooner they have food and water, the better start they will have.
That said, don't remove them if it will jeopardize the rest of the hatchlings.

Alright when I get home I'll give the chick food and water. I have a camera live stream n the eggs and last time I checked, none of the others had pipped yet.
