How long after hatch do you put in brooder

[JacinLarkwell]

Thank you, there all dry, but it’s because they seem to be getting a little stressed all bouncing about & not settling so I think maybe crowded even though it says can have 20 in this Incubator wouldn’t like to try that one !! Lol

thank you

They mean 20 eggs, which take less space

It's like an hour or two

Overnight is the longest any of mine stay in. I get mine out right away, about an hour after hatching. I try to leave one in the incubator at all times though so times can vary. The first one generally stays in the longest of all of them. I like to get them out and drinking/pooping in the brooder, if you leave them in very long you'll have a poopy mess of an incubator to clean. I strongly dislike cleaning incubators so I remove the little poopers as soon as possible.

Yes, but usually you don't keep them in there until every chick hatches

since there dry and fluffy they can be moved to the brooder
