Staggered hatch one incubator humidity advice needed

[igorsMistress]

I moved it to the brooder. It's able to move about and get under/out from under the heat plate. Nutridrench is old so I dipped the beak in vitamin water. Will try that a few times today.

Better. I left it in the incubator almost 24 hours. Will be removing the 2 older chicks to a larger brooder by tomorrow so it won't get run over. Little unsteady on its feet still.

That's very good. Hopefully it will be fine soon!

@igorsMistress I'm glad the chick is doing better now. Is it drinking and eating yet?

Not that I've seen but I worked today, I dipped the beak again and will again before I run some errands after Igor gets home

I gave mine a little wet chick feed today and they seem to like it.

Of the 7 eggs that made it to lockdown all hatched. We decided to cull the last Turken mix that hatched with the Dorking mixes last Monday. It slowly quit eating and I never saw it drink unless I made it do so. By the end it was spending all its time under the heat plate and was wobbly when it would come out.

5 cheeping little chicks that joined the 2 older chicks in the big brooder over the weekend and 2 early culls. Not too bad.
