I have 26 eggs from black and blue australorps that are starting to hatch. I have one or two chicks that hatched early today that are now dry. Should I open up the Hova incubator and take them out and put them in my brooder or wait? They are running around and moving all the other eggs. I know I am not supposed to take them out until they are all dry, but they are plenty dry. Also, I have the brooder set up with heat lamp ready to go. Should I put some sugar in the water to help them or not? I have a small waterer that uses about a quart of water. This is the 20th day. Wasn't expecting them this early but this is the first time we have ever incubated ourselves.
