First timer with lots of questions

[HeatherKellyB]

Some people take them out right after hatch and that's fine as long as the brooder is all ready for them. It always makes me nervous when they're fumbling around knocking the other eggs about

 

[chickfused]

What do I do with the other eggs which have been knocked to hell and back please?

Leave them be or try to reposition them?

 

[HeatherKellyB]

I would take him out and put the eggs back, pip side up. Some people don't do anything but I like the pip up

 

[chickfused]

Thank you. I will let him dry for a few minutes more then do that. He can't quite walk yet, so I don't want to put him under a heat plate and cook him cos he can't leave.

 

[HeatherKellyB]

Especially if that's how they were before the wild one was scrambling them up

Cute, noisy wee thing

 

[HeatherKellyB]

He should be able to move about enough to get the heat he needs. I don't know if this is true, but I feel like they're looking for their hen whenever they flip over backwards. If the hen was over them, they would touch her whenever they kind of stand up and back. I hope I'm making sense

 

[chickfused]

Oh no! He inspired another one to start zipping!

 

[chickfused]

2nd baby!

And here comes #3! Maybe egg soccer isn't a bad thing...
