Awe! So cute!!
I really would not worry about him being tired. I recently had quite a few babies in my shirt all day for a day and a half. I kept thinking they were not going to make it. Turns out they were just very tired.

@BantyChooks Of 18 eggs in the incubator, sixteen going strong. One looks infertile, and one looks like a blood ring.

I have one egg that is very porous, and two others that are also kind of porous. I am not too worried about it. But I am keeping an eye on it.
The one with the blood ring could be nothing. I know I saw a blood ring the last time I hatched SPR's. That blood ring is now in the coop asleep. I can't explain it. Everyone agreed it was a blood ring. So, I will wait another couple days.

Good night all! I'm thinking I just killed 2 day old babies. I snuck them under a broody that is sitting on infertile eggs. I took 10 of her eggs and snuck in the 2 babies. They wanted to burrow under her, she pecked at them a few times, then let them burrow. She is a first time broody, but has been sitting for more than a month. There are 2 others brooding. Also on infertile eggs. I have some day 16 eggs, should I sneak some of those under them? Or will they eventually realize nothing is hatching and get back to normal?

They are not going to realize that they are sitting on infertile eggs. Either you need to give them some day old chicks, some fertile eggs, or break them. If they have been sitting for more than a month, I would opt for breaking them or giving them chicks.

And by breaking them, she means, breaking the broody hens, not the eggs.
