Important Question

[Mikeeeeeeeeee]

Well, to me it is.
I have 5 of 12 hatched out now.
The first one was out at 7 this morning.
How long do I let them sit in the bator?
What if the others dont hatch untill tommorow?

My plan unless someone tells me otherwise here is to remove the 5 that hatched today and place them in the brooder in the morning before i go to work. DW will be here for the rest tomorrow.

They can stay in the incubator for 24-48 hours, but I personally prefer to take them out after they're dry and fluffy. I usually try to remove them when no one else is trying to hatch... if someone is pipping or zipping, I'll wait to remove the older chicks.
