September Hatch-A-Long!

[LONDON HENS]

You may still have a chance...I read they imprint for the first 4 days............

Is that the hen from when the first chick hatches 4 days or till the chicks your adding are 4 days old?
I have just put the hatched chicks from the incubator under her and she was fine, its dark so will find out more in the morning. They are all the same colour so hopefully there will be no problems. She is such a good mum I am sure she would adopt anything!

i have a feeling this is going to be the longest week...
question i have eggs going into day 18 today tomorrow and sunday...do i put them all in the hatcher now so i dont have to open the hatcher or sneek them in when its time??

my opinion....put them in when it's their time....if they aren't dried enough the remaining liquid can become glue in the humidity

Exactly. Another one has just hatched in the incubator, will let her fluff up and pop her under mum early morning. I just hope my other 5 eggs get a move on during the night.

Quick question..... I cant believe these chicks are even alive but I can hear someone chirping from inside the egg no holes yet dont know who of the 8 is doing it day 21 is tomorrow. How long do I wait? I know there is nothing I can do but hpw long does this usually take its almost 7 pm est and I heard the first noises at around 2:30-3:00. Thanks in advance for the advice! Fingers crossed!!!
