My son is in 4H at the end of last year he decided to add fancy chickens to his list of projects. He bought a pair of silver phoenix's, long story short to our excirement she started laying not too long ago. We have incubated 11 eggs, it looks like 6 are going to make it. Is there anything else we should do now? They should start hatching on tuesday, we have kept the temp at 99.5, humidity's good, and used an automatic turner. We took the eggs out of the turner today and put them on the screen in the bator. should we keep turning them by hand now or leave them alone, also is there anything we should look for as far as a chick maybe needing help getting out of the egg. I have read a few posts and noticed the mention of shrink wrapping. what is it and what should we look for.
Thanks in advanced and we'll get some pictures up of our little guys asap
