Pls Help...first time hatcher!!!!!

[Orly29]

Came home from work today to see two baby chicks running around in the incubator, but one appears to have a very small portion of the egg yolk visible under it's belly. Is this normal? Baby chick dried off...what do I do? Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks for your input...this is my first hatch ever. Eggs weren't due to hatch untill tomorrow, but looks like I got some early birds. LOL. I feel like I can breathe now!

Congrats on the new chicks.

It happens sometimes, just be sure and don't mess with it or anything. I often get hatches on day 20 to. We need pics when your hatch is done.

I'm not sure how many will actually hatch...I heard a picked a breed that's hard to hatch. I'm hatching bantam araucanas and a few of my OEGBs. I will def post pics when it's all said and done.

Thanks again everyone for the words of encouragement!
