You don't have to do much. Have your eggs pipped yet? It can take 24 hours or more from the first pip until it hatches. That of course is assuming that they hatch on schedule. Some of my recent hatch waited until day 24 to come out. Once they're hatched just leave them in the incubator to dry out and get fluffy. After that it's easy, just give them food and water and watch for pasty butt. Congratulations and be sure to post lots of photos when they hatch!
