Post - Hatching Process

[yanks26]

Ok so once my eggs hatch in the incubator do i need to remove them one by one as they hatch and put them in a brooder until they are sold?

no you have to wait till all have hatched, or you will make it hard on all the rest to hatch

Always leave the bator CLOSED in till ALL the chicks have hatched !!!

Opening the bator could put your other eggs at risk for not hatching !! Due to the humidity being screwed up when opened.

Chicks can stay in the bator up to 48 hours with no food or water.

Wow, that is incredible! They can survive 48 hours without any water or food. Wow.

While in the rgg the embrio absorbs the youlk sak so they are very well nourished and hydrated when they finally hatch. Alot of times they will make a little pip (small crack or hole in the shell and not actually hatch for another 24 hours as they are absorbing the yolk before they hatch.
Hope that wasn't confusing !

Not at all. All these facts and tidbits get me one step closer to my final goal of hatching some of my own! Thanks.
