They're on their own-- watch from afar-- go to sleep-- they'll be fine

( in other words-- no opening the incubator-- they'll do their thing as they're ready to!)

Good luck!

I use a Hygro-Thermometer , it is the best way to view temp and humidity. I love when they hatch. BTW - Hygro-Thermometers are cheap.

That's what I got. Thanks....How am I going to sleep if I've got my nose stuck to the window of the 'bator?

Look at what I found when I got up this morning!

Two of my silkies hatched! More are on the way!

OMG!! Your babies are sooo cute!! Congratulations on your hatch!!!

When do I take them out? They seem a little sticky, is that normal?

You can wait til the hatch is over ( if you've got active pips and zips-- wait a bit) or until they're dry and fluffy to take them out.
Sticky is normal-- if you had just spent 3 weeks in an egg, you'd stick a bit too

They're beautiful!

Now...don't touch!

The hardest part of hatching is resisting the urge to open that bator!

So far five have made it out, I have several more just starting to pip.

Here's a picture

Right now there are two dark ones, a medium color one and two light ones - don't know what the colors will end up being.
