New chickie baby isn't drying

[chickernewbie]

First time hatcher, I have 1 that has hatched and does not seem to be drying out. He hatched around 12 pm today and is still wet the humidity is about 70 trying to get it down, could that be why he is not drying out? I have 2 other eggs that are due to hopefully hatch in the next 2 days so cant lower humidity too much (lockdown mode). He is moving around great really strong, can I go ahead and move him to the brooder?

Take him out and maybe blow dry him or get a towel and be careful post a pic please!

cute little chickie! yep a blow dryer on a very VERY low setting might help, though to high heat might burn the chickie.

Ok hes drying up,should i put him back in incubtor or go ahead and put in brooder? I have raised chicks but from 3 to 4 days old, new to this

If your brooder has a heat lamp and everything and is warm, and has food and water, go ahead and put them in. If not, leave them in the incubator. Also, as they just hatched, you might have to show them how to drink water. (just dip their beak in the water for a sec)
