Not sure on age... maybe 4 weeks? Night temps are anywhere from 51-62°F

Thank you so much! The 4 black ones are 4 weeks, the others about 3 weeks. Tonight is only dipping into the 60’s so I’m going to go ahead and let them spend the night. They are all laying down In the pine shavings in the baby hen house.

If they are already peeping, you need to lock them down now.

I can’t candle them during lockdown because they are supposed to beundisturbed. But I candled then yesterday and it should be completely black except for the air sack.

These pics were taken on consecutive days, shortly after increasing humidity. The air cell will "draw down" like the second pic as the baby gets into hatching position, and shortly after that happens, they will pip. See how different the air cell looks from one day to the next.

Fluffy and Fuzzy are getting so big! I’m 99.8% sure Fluffy is a drake (low raspy peeps) and Fuzzy is a hen (louder, Quackier peeps)
