Leave her in there until she is fluffy and walking around on her own. She can stay in there a good 24 hours + if need be. If the others pip and you are ready to take her out, just put a wet paper towel in, but it looks like there are several.

There are only 2 eggs left. The one off to the side there is her shell. Neither of them are pipped this morning. I’m thinking they probably won’t.
She feels dry, but crunchy. Should I give her a bath?

No! That will wear off on it's own. Chicks are extremely sensitive to temperature changes and a bath at her age may just chill her to much.

Is she walking around and seeming like a normal chick? Is her down fluffing up yet?

Oh yes, she was up and about zooming around the incubator within a few hours after hatch. She was pecking at the styrofoam today so we just moved her lonely self to the brooder. I showed her the water and food and then put her under the heating pad. I’m on the hunt for a day old buddy to buy for her. Still nothing on the two eggs. I will leave them another couple days. It is so humid in there now though. I can see the condensation on the lid and and she felt almost damp again this morning.

And no her fluff isn’t fluffing. I will see how she does in the brooder. If she seems too traumatized I will put her back in the incubator.

So I moved her to the brooder all by her lonely self. I showed her the food and water but she doesn’t seem interested in the least. She did go back into the heating cave all by herself so that made me happy that she is able to find the heat. Is it still early for her to be eating and drinking? She’s only 24 hours old I guess. I found someone selling some black split Orpingtons that were hatched on Wednesday. I’m going to pick one up tonight. But I’m taking my kids so we will probably get two. Or at least I’m going to tell my husband it was the kids fault we got an extra....

I'm glad she's doing well. As long as she knows where the food and water is, she should go for it when she needs to. I think my last hatch were more interested in running around and then sleeping at first lol. Getting a couple friends for. Her is a great idea.

Hmmm, she won’t come out of the heat cave. I’m getting a little worried about her. In the incubator she would tootle all over and peck at things bust since we moved her she just sleeps in the cave. This is the same setup I’ve used with all of our other day olds that we have bought in the past so it should be warm enough. Maybe my loud kids are stressing her out?
