Hi I'm a keen animal lover and have my first lot of eggs in incubator day 19! So excited I candled them before lock down but never seen movement should I be concerned? Also any tips for the hatch day welcome

Welcome to BYC!

I'll have to let someone else answer your questions, I'm new at this myself. Best regards!

 

[ScottishKate]

Thank you. I'm as nervous as I was having my first kid. But all that means is you care

Hi and welcome to BYC!

Come and introduce yourself to the UK thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/655508/uk-member-please-say-hi

Aim to have the humidity between 65-75% for lockdown, and don't open the incubator until all of the eggs have hatched (chicks can go for 24-72 when they first hatch without food). What breed(s) are they? Good luck!

I've rescued 10 red ex caged hens, 5 leg horns, 1 winadot, 4 aracante and the other 3 are black? Clifford is an aracante cross. Such a gentlemen to the girls and turkeys are Norfolk blacks raised by an Indian game chicken.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens, how lovely that you rescued them. Wait till they realize they have a real home and good care now. Wish we could see photos now and then later after your work your charm on them.
