This little chickaroo is very in charge. She keeps pecking the other ones.

I have two others that have pipped, it’s okay to open the incubator to get her out when she’s fluffy, this won’t disturb the others? I know they can stay in the incubator for several hours, but it took her 13hrs to be born. I feel like that’s a long time to leave her there..

I like to leave them in the bator until fully dried, moving to brooder 2 or more at a time.
Newspaper can be slippery and injure legs, paper towels are a better choice.
Congrats on your first hatchlings!

I was keeping them on a cloth that’s not slick until they got their bearings (I did place more cloth down for them though). I haven’t been able to keep them in the incubator to dry because after over two hours, they’ve been wet still. The little one that just hatched is hanging out in there for a bit encouraging the other pipper though

We had a bit of a scare earlier. My son is two and he climbed up on the counter and propped the lid open. By the time i found it (Which wasn’t long), the humidity had dropped over 15%!! Ahh! Got it back up, and things seem to be going okay!

Unfortunately the drop in humidity was detrimental to one poor babe. :/ Chick number 5 did not make it.

 

[WilsonChickies]

Saddest thing ever. I got to the poor thing too late.

View attachment 1978078 Apparently I'm not allowed to leave. Lol she starts peeping really loud, so I come check on her, then she jumps in my hand and goes back to sleep.

Aww
