[katiek]

critterfarm, I use a straw to put water in there. what day are you on?

you should start a new thread (post) so we can give you advice.

Go to "Index" then "Incubating and Hatching Eggs"

then click "Post New Topic" it's on the right kinda close to the top.

Post something with a specific title and lots of information in the post and you will get a bunch of people helping out.

I'll look for it to give you advice there.

Just noticed your last post wasn't answered as I don't usually visit the site every day. Sorry.
The hen will usually let you know it's time for things to progress when she attempts to get up and take the babies out of the nest. Which I'm sure she already has done by now! If not by any chance, then watch her for clues - she'll let you know. It's a precious thing to see a hen raise a brood of chicks. Enjoy.
PS - Just make certain that the nest she is going to go into at night, etc., has a built up area (with straw, hay) so that any babies who tumble out accidentally can get back in to her. If not, they can chill and die. Often times even a good mother will be unaware that one chick is not where it should be to be safe.
