so far we have 10 hatched and four more pips!! It's been 24 hours for the first, do I crack open and move them to the brooder real fast and add water or just let it be?

Add water let nature do its thing... worked so far for me

I have 4 eggs left now, we started with 8, and today is the first day of lockdown....not sure what to expect because candling them we only got a view good looks inside the egg where we could see them so not sure if any will hatch. This is our first time so we aren't really expecting too much of them just getting one to hatch would be awesome. If they hatch on time we could have new years eve chicks! Hoping for the best!

7th egg pipped! 6 in brooder (I took a chance on last two and pulled from bator and placed in brooder as soon as they hatched and were standing)... change that last one hatching now
