HELP!!

[Ronie]

You guys know what is the absolute longest I can keep the chicks in the incubator?

 

[Kiki]

No...
Are they dry?

No...
Are they dry?

Uhh, not fully. I know they need to be super fluffy before I take them out but not sure if I can leave them extra.

Is everyone hatched?
Do you have a brooder ready?


Lke I said before I do not know how long you can leave them in, but I want to know why you want to know?
What is your reason for leaving them in long/longer?
(I am just curious)

I have 1 more that pipped. Also have duck eggs that should pip soon (hopefully). I will be taking the chicks that have hatched to the farm either tonight or tomorrow but I don't want to keep opening and closing the incubator. So, assuming the 4th egg hatches soon, I will need to keep it in the incubator until it fluffs up-most likely tomorrow. That would make the others in the incubator for 36 hours.... sooo, not sure exactly how that works. I do have a brooder made from a large box with a towel and wood shavings and a heat lamp ready to go, just not sure exactly what do to at the 24 hr point if the rest haven't hatched or are hatching...
