I didn't leave them with the other chicks. I separated them. You can see their siblings sleeping and they are beginning to fluff.

Question I cant use hen saddles as its too freaking hot, what on earth should I do for these brahma hens, they are starting to look a mess the poor things! Will they bleed on their backs too?

Hey, I use NuSkin to coat exposed skin (Sulphur based product) and add layer of protection. Once dry, absorbed, rubbed off/next day....I spray on BlueKote (purple spray) Anti-septic/anti-bacterial to hide any red/opened scratches, etc. Re-apply as needed alternating between the two.

Okay, one chick didn't make it so I have three chicks with one serama externally pipped so far. I am afraid through feather sexing my Lavender Ameraucana is a male but we'll see.

In my other bator, I have 15 out of 24 eggs developing. Breeds include cream legbars, wheaten Ameraucana, OEs, and BCMs. . I should have EE and SLW hatching eggs arrive Tuesday.

Ok so I looked this morning and out of the six that have piped they are doing fine two have broken out and are now resting and drying so I'm very happy the one that piped wrong is half way through so I'm very happy and we have one very active chick walking around almost dry and making noise yay

Quick question today is day 20 and the first chick is hatched and walking around very well how many days is the limit for leaving it in the incubator because some haven't even pipped and I realize some take up to 25 days I don't think I can leave this chick in there for 6 days so what I'm asking is what is the limit

3 days

But

3 days

to be honest though, I left mine in there 36 hours because I went on a trip and they were fluffed up and doing well, but very thirsty/hungry when I took them out and gave them moistened chick starter and water.
