Hatch day fears

[Sparkypatriot15]

Its out!!  Its just lying there chirping, everything looks ok, no yolk or blood.  What should I be looking for as in things to worry about?

I don't think you need to be worrying about anything, she sounds like a perfectly happy healthy chick! Good job!

Its trying to get in the water and its moving the other eggs. What should I do?

Don't let it get in the water it could drown itself. Its fine if it moves the other eggs this prompts them to hatch!

Is there anything I need to do for it? How long before we can touch it??

Is this a good hatch rate for a first timer: 1 egg died at around 5 days, 4 were infertile, and 8 have hatched with the 9th pipping?

You don't need to do anything for it except keep the temp stable until the chick is fluffed out. Once the chick is fluffed out, you can remove it from the bator and put it in the brooder

That's excellent- much better than my first hatch!
