LOL How long can a person keep a chick out of heat? Every time I take Hope out of it, she always runs back to the incubator window.

What kind of chickens were you hatching? Do you know how much your eggs weighted? We weighted an egg prior and they weigh an oz. and a half...mine are silkies...I am so nervous..I hope there isn't a too small of an egg to hatch?

Don't worry. If the eggs were meant to be tiny, then the chicks will be tiny too! :3 I didn't pay attention to the weight of my chicks.

I'm sure yours will be fine as long as the temperature and humidity is right. Don't let my fail hatch scare you. XD My chickies were half white leghorn half rhode island red, but not the way to make a red sex link.

we were going to weigh but circumstances have botched that yet again! But I can pretty much look at the air cell now and feel more confident dont need all that stuff to make it even harder LOL

I am not a chicken pro yet, but I wouldn't take her out for awhile. They need to stay warm...I heard when they hatch to keep them in until their feathers dry then in a brooder w a heat lamp. 95 degrees and then every week tapper down 5 degrees

It's okay. Should I keep the last egg in there? It is day 27, and the temp is too low for it. Should I kill it? It is most likely going to die.

Okay. I won't do that again.

I am a nervous chicken mama! I will be pacing for the next 3 days...I thought it would be cool to have chicks for Christmas day but I think I added more stress to my plate. I will keep everyone updated on mine
