Help please. My broody hen decided on day 20 she didn’t want to sit on the eggs anymore. So I quickly made a homemade incubator with a box and heat lamp using a video I saw on YouTube. Last night one egg pipped and the chick was hatched this afternoon. There are 4 eggs left. In 2 I definitely hear the chick and I think a third as well. It’s been about 28 hours since the first egg pipped. Should the others have started by now? I’m worried that I hear them in there and maybe they can’t get out. Temperature is staying around 90 and humidity is bouncing between 53-60. I just added an additional dish with a wet paper towel to try to raise humidity a bit more as I read 60-65 is best. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know it’s had to do it this way but I couldn’t stand that they were 1 day out and am hoping my efforts are worth it.
