Lockdown, UPDATE, they are hatching.

Ok, I got home and we had 19 hatched. I did the bad daddy thing and grabbed out the ones that are dry, put them in the brooder that has been warming up since this morning. There are only 8 I believe that were dry enough to come out, I know they would have been ok for up to 48 hours but you all know how it is lol

The ones I took out are eating, and even trying out the lil water dish, toooooo cute

I open my hatchers and grab the hatched chicks and their shells out quickly as soon as they hatch. I don't leave the chicks in the hatchers to dry out. I have brooder boxes I let them dry out in. My hatchers don't loose much humidity and the temp stay pretty good too and they recovers quite quickly. My brooder boxes are set to 99 degrees. After the chicks have dried out in the brooder boxes they go into a brooder cabinet. It works for me.

That is a GREAT brooder setup, I may try to build something like it on a smaller scale. BTW your babies are BEAUTIFUL, I love baby chicks
