Good morning all!

I was WAY too many pages behind, and my quotes all failed. I saw some adorable goat photos, a super adorable goat video, a very cute goose video, and lots of coffee pictures. Excellent hatch results were posted - Congratulations!!!. I don't like Apple Pie so I don't eat that for breakfast, lunch or dinner.....but cookies have been known to take the place of a meal or two.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend.

Happy Hatching everyone!

Hello Everyone! This is my first time incubating, and I have a large group in the incubator now. Several chicks hatched on day 20, and I am beginning to grow concern that they are moving the other eggs too much. Should I do something with them or leave them in until the rest have a chance to hatch? I had read that it was very important during lock down and hatching not to open the incubator but also not to move the eggs so the chicks can position properly... help!! Also I am noticing as they hatch my humidity keeps rising. Is it safe to remove some of the water from the troughs? Thank you all!

I usually grab them after 8 hours or so when dry. It is best to get them feed and water even though you can wait. Just do what chaos said and throw in a hot damp papertowel but not on eggs and grab them and the shells out fast. If you have had trouble getting temps regulated its probably best to let them in about 12 24 hours though.

Today is day 21 BTW and my temp is staying right at 99.5 to 99.6

And pure protein

That they are. The already slimy ones slide down real easy without chewing.

This is why I had to move them to the coop like RIGHT NOW! They were way outgrowing the brooder!
