They can survive in the bator for up to 2 days. Don't forget to put marbles or something similar in your waterer so the chicks can't drown.Good morning!!! So a chick hatched some time between 4 & 7:30 this am. Sooo tiny-It's a serama. Chirping like crazy but having a hard time walking or standing-ended up on her back once! How long do I leave her in the bator? she looks like she's drying off nicely-eyes open-and loud! I am working on a brooder box for her now,. Don't want to move her too soon but dont want to leave her in too long etiher. what is the best way? Thanks!!!
