CHICK HATCHING NEED ADVICE

[ChickenDude12345]

So the clutch of eggs that I sit under my Broody hen on July 26 hatched at different times. She has four chicks right now but today was supposed to be the day that they should hatch. They must’ve been incubating from the place I got them. One chick has pooped from the egg but she is ignoring it. I can hear it peeping inside. I was thinking about taking the four chicks and putting them in a bruter for tonight so she could focus on the hatching of the rest of the eggs. Would that work since she’s been with the chicks for about five days. Will she re-accept them? Need advice quickly thanks

You can take them away and then put them under her at night.

You can take them away and then put them under her at night.

So put them back under her tomorrow night?

You can take them away and then put them under her at night.

Also if I take the chicks away from her should I do it during the day or during night

 

[SmiYa0126]

Can you put them under tonight? I wouldn't wait much longer, the chick needs to imprint on mama.

 

[SmiYa0126]

Does the chick have different coloring? Then the first hatched chicks?

Can you put them under tonight? I wouldn't wait much longer, the chick needs to imprint on mama.

What I’m saying is I would take the four chicks that I’ve hatched and put them in a Bruder until tomorrow night so the chick could hatch an imprint on the Mom along with the other eggs that haven’t hatch to get her mind back on the eggs

Oh, no I wouldn't take the other chicks. Take the newly hatched chick out, put it into the brooder and then put it under mama tonight.

Oh, no I wouldn't take the other chicks. Take the newly hatched chick out, put it into the brooder and then put it under mama tonight.

It hasn’t hatched yet it only pipped the shell and is peeping. Should i assist hatch it.

Do you know when it pipped?
