How long before just hatched chicks should be moved from the hatcher?

And also, when do they perk up after hatching, or what is normal post hatching behavior?

Ideally you should wait until all the eggs have hatched. I dont know of many that do however, the chicks should be completely dry before you move them once they are in the brooder they will start walking and pecking they wont eat at first but you should make sure they drink.

there yolk will last 3 days. they want some water after a day or so. once you can tell thats it take them out. they'll be up in a day or so.

Okay, that's what I thought, just wanted to be sure. Thanks, to both of you!
