Early chick

[merca126]

Hi!

I have Seramas in the incubator and one has already hatched and some of the others are just starting to pip now. She has been in there for about 24 hours or so and is dry. I know I can leave her, but it took her almost 20 hours to hatch so if these guys take that long, she will be in there for a while. Is there a point that I should definitely pull her out?

And one pipped a few hours after her and hasn't come out...Im torn about interfering at all..

Thanks!

The little chicks can survive up to 3 days on their yolk they absorbed, it should be fine. Congratulations!

You can pull the chick out and place in a brooder if you want. Quickly opening the incubator for a brief moment will not harm the other eggs.

And it may actually be better for you to pull it as it may accidentally harm the others during hatching.
