Are more hatching?

 

[silkiecuddles]

No more hatched so far. Only the one. Brooder isn't heated up. Food is at the barn and so are feeders and waters. I didn't think that far yet.

Is it ok to leave the chick in incubator all night? I'll set a few alarms so I'll wake up a couple times tonight. I'll be gone from about 10am to 4-5pm tomorrow. Is that ok for them?

 

[silkiecuddles]

I set an alarm for 3:30am and 6:45am because I'm chick crazy

 

[silkiecuddles]

I didn't ruin the other eggs' chances of life by opening it really fast to take the shell out and a little bit later to move an egg over, did I? I'm so worried

 

[silkiecuddles]

I don't know if I can even sleep! Hopefully by 3:30 the silkie egg will have hatched. It's talking to the chick
