[retiredwithchicks]

Just finished hatching 36 babies and my first 18 days was at 55% and the last 3 was at 66% and had 95% hatch rate. Good luck, there is nothing like it except maybe giving birth to my own.

Just came home from dinner and looked at my 1 pip from last night...and she had her head out!

Now she is fully out!

and 2 more pips!

How long should i leave her in the incubator before taking her out?

Usually, you leave the babies until they are at least all dry and fluffed out. It is better to wait until they all hatch, 24 - 48 hours -- they have enough food from their yolk that they absorbed to last them a few days. The reason for waiting is so you don't open the incubator and affect the humidity.

Yeah, I know you want to play with the new baby! Be good! Wait!
