Help!
My single abandoned Peachick just hatched today (Wednesday) at 8:20 AM PST. I used the Hatch Mate by Backyard Farms and it seems too short for the Peachick to stand up all the way. Is that ok? And, if not, when can I safely move him/her to the heat lamp container?
Most posts say to leave the chick in for 12-24 hours until dry, but I am worried the Peachick cannot stand. His legs are knock-kneed and his head is almost hitting the ceiling of the incubator. I also do not have other eggs to worry about losing humidity, etc. when opening the incubator.
Thank you to anyone who responds!
