So my chicks were set to hatch on easter. Lockdown was set for tonight when I got home. As I was checking the bator before I left I found 3 had pipped and one was in full hatch mode still in the turner cups!
I quick pulled them out of the turner and put some water in the bottom and threw some paper towels down on the screen and layed them back on their sides in the bator.
So did I do the right thing?
So. I still imagine the other 5 eggs are going to hatch Sunday so I guess I will have to pull the hatched chicks out eventually and put them in a brooder. I put all the eggs on their sides back in the bator without the turner.
