I need help. Lockdown was Friday. (Day 21) yesterday (day 22) after a few hatched, I was getting ready for bed and heard loud chirping from the bator with no sleeping breaks, so I went to check on the chicks. Well the heat source in my little giant just quit working. Temp was down in the 80’s. I had a few eggs piped and some where not pipped. Luckily I had another bator running with chicks due in a week. So I moved the chicks hatched to the brooder and squished my last 9 eggs into the other bator. I checked in the night and I had hatched. Two more are pipped. We are day 23 now, this is my concern. I don’t want to spike the humidity and compromise my other eggs not due for another week, but I really want these last few eggs to hatch. Any suggestions? They are a really fancy breed Swedish Hedemora. Also the chick that hatched is covered like a sticky chick. Can’t open eyes. Should I leave it till the others hopefully hatch or should I take it out and try to clean it of the glue? And put it back in?
What an emotional rollercoaster this hatch was.
Thank you guys
