First hatch....learning a lot!! I don't know what day I am on, I set my eggs at 8pm on Saturday Jan 25th. I had 2 chicks hatch on Sunday, they are fine and in our brooder. We lost one chick that had started to zip, the incubator was dry.
I floated the rest of the eggs, had 11 that seemed to be wiggly, refilled in incubator and added sponges to keep moisture better. Success, one more chick hatched this am. She was a shipped egg, so I am not surprised she's on the later side.
...once this 3rd chick dries off, any concerns with putting it with the 2 other chicks. It's been a couple of days they've been just the 2of them?
I am waiting to move this last chick before inspecting the rest of the eggs for pips....I was ready to close shop, but this mornings events have me hopeful more might hatch.
