Hatched chick in still air incubator...now what?

[kokeff]

We haven't candled since before 18 day and they looked good from what us newbies could tell. They are copper Maran eggs so they're so dark!!

Chicks are still chirping like crazy. Put a stuffed animal in there for them to snuggle with and they were only scared! Now the newest chick keeps pecking at the other's beak, wings and sometimes feet. I can't tell if she's trying to be nice or getting picky. The other chick does not like it and chirps really loudly and runs the other direction. Maybe there needs to be more than just 2 chicks?

Wonderful idea to crush the baby food! They seem to be eating a little bit of it!

They're so darn cute! Wish they liked sitting in my lap though!

No changes or new peeps? Give them until you can treat them! They will loveeee you!!

No new nothing! No peeps, pips or movement. Thinking there's nothing left alive at this point. Should I do anything about the chicks picking on one another? Or really-the one picking on the other one? Or is this normal behavior? They NEVER STOP CHIRPING! It's so loud! But they are sweet

I think peeps are fine, exploring... just watch them..... I would candle look for internal pips n movement if its past day 22 and u already hatched 2 .... what day is it today?

Ok. We will candle. There's a few different hatch dates still incubating. The oldest eggs are on day 26 and the most recent are on day 22 now. Are they ok only having a total of 2 or should we try and get a few more?
