October Hatch-a-long!

I have 2 bantam silkie eggs hatching... one next weekend and one hatching about 3 days after that! does anyone know if you can put eggs in a bator for the last few days? Its getting nice and cold where I live and I am worried my little hen will have a hard time keeping them and herself warm.

I know some people switch eggs to a different bator for hatching so I don't know why not. but she may not raise them if you take them away or stop being broody? just my opinion. I have no experience with either .
 
Looks like I missed some excitement! I'm so relieved that temp & humidity is stable. That is awesome! Good luck with the rest!
 
It is day 23 and I have 9 baby chicks, 2 pipped and nothing in over 24 hours and 4 that did nothing. I am leaving the remaining 6 in the bator till wednesday just in case. But for a first timer with shipped eggs I think 9 out of 15 is is pretty good!
