Hey all-

in your experience how long did it take your babies to dry out in the 'bator?

these guys are 4 hrs old...looking better but still very wet. I read it can take 24hrs?

thanks!
 
i leave mine in for 24 hours but theyre pretty dry at 12 hours! i do that for both chicken and ducks LF and bantam just to be on the safe side

ours came out at 6 hours and fluffed right up under the brooder lamp. I have 2 which may hatch in the next hour. not sure if/when I will make it to bed tonight! here they are on the way to the brooder:

We also need to get in there and clean because the first 2 made a huge mess!
