In the Brooder
I just had to bring a poult in to hatch and help it because mom left the nest and didn’t return. It was peeping and crying a lot more than a normal hatch so I helped it just a little but it did most of the work.
I have never had a brand new one inside. I don’t have an incubator. I have it in a plastic tub and it’s on my heating pad turned on high. And a kitchen towel just draped over it to keep drafts off.
Anything else I should do for it while it’s resting and gaining strength? How do I know if it’s ok? Yes I have a thermometer and I’ll check the heat. Does it need humidity now? I used warm wet paper towels while it was hatching. But took those out now so it can dry up.
