If I run into to one more stressful problem, I'm gonna give these chicks away.

GUYS, I wanna shoot this freaking incubator. Why ant I just have a normal hatch? It's day 19 and 11 have hatched. I took the first To out since they were the only ones and they were fluffy this morning. Now there are 9 in this incubator. They just won't dry, and the humidity is liek 80 cause these darn things keep hatching. So I have blowdried the inside plenty of times so the temp is but the humidity drops. ( don't worry none had piped at the time). The humidity won't stop going back up!!!! How the heck do I dry these poor little birds when I'm doing evrything with and against the rules to get the humidity down? I have even wiped the top off with a paper work, removing all excess water held on top. What do I do?

How long since they’ve hatched? Chicks can live fine in an incubator for a few days. The high humidity should be fine for those that haven’t.
They’ll dry off and get fluffy soon

The humidity always spikes when one hatches, we usually just wait. They can stay in the bator for something like 3 days after hatching? I usually try to pull them by 24 hours, but yes i believe the yoke lasts like 3 days after they finish it.

A couple of hours atleast. Some started at 8:09 this morning then the rest one after another at noon. They are drenched

Yeah but these eggs are early.., the rest might be normal and hatch in day 21. Then what do I do if they arnt dry and have been in there for 3 days?

 

[Thebossbaby]

Can't I just take them out and wrap them in a very warm towel, the transfer the to the brooder with a heat lamp already on?

 

[Thebossbaby]

So basically just let them say in there all of tomorrow and after till they are fully dry?

 

[SavKel&RynKel]

How "wet" are they? Can you post a pic?
