How long do hatchlings stay in incubator?

[Andrew Larson]

HOw long should babies stay in the incubator at 100 degrees for? What is the longest that they can remain in for?

You should take out the babies when they are fluffed up and put them in the brooder. Sprinkle some food in there and provide water.

Once Dry They Should Be Removed In Short Order As They Are Not Born With The Reserves Other Poultry Has And Need Food And Water Much Sooner

So this is usually within a day?

 

[Stellar]

Pretty much

Yup, pull them out, and put their fuzzy buts in the brooder, on top of a big pile of game bird starter, with a quail chick water fount, outside of the hot spot. It's the only way to be sure!

12-24 hours. Usually I remove any new hatchlings in the morning and again in the evening. That way the oldest are no more than 12 hours old
