First hatch. It's day 21. Don't know what I am doing.
Started with 12 eggs. At day 18 I candled. 2 were duds. The remaining 10 looked like they were developing like the pictures, but it's my first time so do I know. I returned 10 to incubator.
Humidity was in the 45-55% range and at day 18 cranked it up to 65-70%.
5pm of day 20 (last night) I had one hatch. With lots of movement on two others. This morning --day 21- I had two hatch overnight and 2 more during the day. Total 5 hatched.
Chicks are still in the incubator and moving around so much that I can't tell if any of remaining 5 are close to hatching.
When do I open the incubator and remove the chicks?
This evening would be 24 hours from hatch for the oldest chick.
Thanks!
