i just realized that i have 2 goats due to kid on that same day, so i think i'll be sitting this one out! I don't think i can handle goats, chicks, easter, and midterm projects all at the same time!!!

That is exactly how and why I had slew of young chicks come out of the ginormous brooder I couldn't tell anybody their providence and in some cases, gosh, is that a barnevelder? What are THOSE? Where did I get those eggs? Oh! Those are BOs (all proud to recognize 'em) and that is either a cochin or a light brahma...

I'm trying to do better, now.

Forgetting what they are is probably my brains method of being sneaky. If I don't know what they are then I have to keep them until they grow up, right?!!

Yep, lock them down. Acutually , on day 17 they start getting in place for hatching, so it isn't really too early anyway.

 

[countrygirl911]

how high should i put the humidity also is it safe to lock the down on day 17 almost day 18 i thought i had to turn them till day 18 so they do not stick to one side

They will be fine being locked down right now. Try to get your humidity to about 65%. Good luck on your hatch.
