Is this normal post hatch??

I can't wait to get him in the brooder too. My early hatcher has been cheeping incessantly for 2 days and she's getting louder now that she can hear chicks in the incubator!

She/he will quite down. Unless it imprinted on you.

That's good. Good to know it's working.

Hopefully you have chicks that will stay on their bellies for you. Flipping over once, or twice is normal though.

Yes. It was just painful to watch him on his back twitching like that. He looks much happier now. I think I'll name him Twitch. His one wing looks a little longer and floppier... But hard to tell if it's just hanging like that because he was on that awkward position for awhile.

It's possible. But hopefully she'll be happy with her brothers and sisters!!

They'll hold their wings like that for balance.

She/he should like the other chicks when they arrive.

What breeds are you hatching?

Ok good to know. This is my first chicken hatching. Last year we hatched a few quail but this all feels new again! Glad to have help and reassurance.

I have 10 backyard mix eggs that were from Easter Eggers, Isa Browns and others, she's from a brown egg and I have a couple blueish eggs pipped. And I also have 10 pure lavender orphingtons. Those ones went in a day later and none have pipped... But I'm hoping they'll start later today or tomorrow

Is the chick chirping constantly.

Barnyard mixes are always fun.

EEs are already mixes, so mixing EE with whatever else still gives you EEs.

No [h] in Orpington. Orps are one of my favorites. I'm working on a new color variety.

I myself also have one egg that was put in the incubator 1 day later then the other 3. Wishing you luck.
