Hi, this is my first time hatching, sadly only 1 hatched, we have more in the incubator so she won’t be alone( hopefully)
I was just wondering if anyone could help!
In her brooder I have a brooder plate, but does she need any other heat source? She is indoors so there’s no drafts and it’s a constant temp
Thanks in advance for any help it’s much appreciated

Hi Sarah and welcome to BYC. The brooder plate will be fine. The aim is to provide a gradient of temperate in the brooder so the chicks can retreat to the warmth under the brooder plate and then exit the brooder plate once they have warmed up.
 
Hello, Sarah, and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
She will definitely do well with the brooder plate.
Have any more hatched?
Hi
Thanks for the great welcome, our second batch are due today, we can see 4 eggs moving but we are not sure about the rest as we had a power cut Through the night and they went down to 28c ,
thanks again
