For fun. We needed a rest from the farm, and it was my bro's 10th birthday.

Awesome! Sounds fun!

I'll try to get one later. I had to clean out the nesting area and put fresh bedding in there. It was pretty hard with two squeakers in the way.

Not yet but it's only 2 am

Yay squeakers and chicks at same time for you
:cd

Yes!

I'm trying to get to sleep but it's so hard. I want to open eggs, but I know I have to give them 24 hrs from when they crack before I can help without harming them.
I hope that the bio incubator out at the farm has chicks as well we we get there. They were set a few hours earlier than mine, but have probably been running colder.

Personal preference, Don't assist them. If they're too weak to get out on their own, then they would probably be weak birds. Amy would say otherwise.
Broodies, you mean?

Yes, we set 6 eggs under a broody About 6 hours before I got home with the incubator and set my 30.
