Help! Heard a peep! What next????

[dkluzier]

Oh my gosh! My eggs are hatching. What next?? Do I wait to move the chicks or what?? I see a beak, do I help it out?

I had to help my goat kid be born and am a nervous wreck.

Leave it alone for now. Keep the lid closed or you will lose too much heat and humidity. They can take 24+ hrs from pip to zip. Leave the babies in the hatcher till all eggs have hatched. If it is getting way to crowded then you can remove chicks after they are good and dry (about 24 hrs), just do it very quickly. If there is room for them to stay in hatcher just leave them till all eggs are hatched!
Good Luck!
