Last week of incubation... questions please...

[WhiteMountainsRanch]

Lockdown is in 3 days, so here are some questions;

1. Do I need to lower my temp a little when I bump up the humidity?

2. How long do I leave a hatched chick in the 'bator before pulling her out?

3. Should I offer food and water right away in the brooder or wait... if so how long?



Thanks!

I took a few biddies the first day & dipped their beek in the water & they caught on quick. I also put some split firewood in the brooder for a roost .

Also buy some of the gel feed it is full of nutrients etc to help them build up quickly.
