Hatching

[Belloti]

Please do I have to separate my newly hatched chicks from the eggs that are yet to be hatched? Because the newly hatched chicks normally stumble on the eggs that are yet to be hatched and as such change the sitting position of the eggs.

Once theyre dry, put the chicks in the brooder

I always try not to open my incubator so that the humidity and temperature will not drop. And you know removing the ones that have dried will make me open the incubator. And I feel it will affect the eggs that are not hatched. So what do you suggest?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

If you open it for a minute to take chicks out, that's fine. That's how everyone does it. You can always put more water in the well right afterwards too

It won't take long to take the chick out after it is dry. And the suggestion about adding more water at that time was a great suggestion!

Ok thank you.

 

[Belloti]

Ok thank you.

If i Allow the newly hatched chicks together with the eggs that are yet to be hatched will it be a problem?

Ok thank you.

I would be careful if you have any that are pipped because you can accidentally shrink wrap them! Adding water may counteract that, though. Good luck!

Especially when they stumbled on the eggs that are yet to be hatche.
