I have been collecting chicks from a broody who's stagger hatching the last two weeks. Tonight I heard peeping so I lifted her up expecting to see a chick, but there wasn't so I shooed her away while I tried to find the source of the peeping. And long story short two of her eggs are hatching, one pipped the aircell and the other just began zipping. Do I need to rush them in and get them under some humidity since I took the mother away? I got her back on ASAP, but did I already do damage by taking her away for probably thirty seconds?? I feel awful, the zipping one is still peeping. I don't want them shrinkwrapped, should I leave them alone or put them in my incubator and raise the humidity like mad?

The one on the far right is the one who was zipping! We are supposed to get real nasty weather so I went ahead and brought him in. The other one hasn't hatched yet so I left it under the broody. The chick on the far left hatched two days ago, and the one in the center a few days before that. They've all got frizzle or Sizzle in them, we will see who frizzles out :D
