Early hatch

[Karadak]

I have 3 baby chicks coming out of egg around 30hours before tha day 21th. And they are messing aroung all the other eggs. Will this harm the process of hatching for other eggs? What should I do?

I don't believe it will hurt the eggs. If they were under a broody hen they would be moved and rocked some as she shifted.

And having the chicks there may encourage the others to hatch.

Thank you very much I appreciate it. Can you tell me what's the ideal temperature and humidity for the newborn baby chicks?

That's fine..Keep waiting. Congrats on the hatching..

According to the books and such the ideal temp is about 95 F .

They will be fine for a little while in the incubator with the eggs as far as temperature and humidity.

At least, mine have been.

I put mine in the Brooder as they get moving around. They dry and get moving. I hatch many Birds each year..
