The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[ShelbyCoral]

Yes, as long as they all hatch close to the same time and you do not over load her with too many eggs.

Is the broody in a safe place?

Yes, she has 5 eggs now. they are all hatching today!!! KYA!!!!

I don't know what anyone else might advise, but I wouldn't. You would loose all humidity. At the moment you have everything controlled , the minute U move them it's all about --- can she sit on them all --- did the eggs survive the move-- ect. Try and introduce the chicks, but don't take your eyes off them. She may see the bator chicks as a threat ! Good luck.

Oh yes, I wrapped them in a very warm towel, put them in a purse I never use (sturdy to) and took it up to her. They are fine! The humidity was normal in the incubator.

Had the chick already hatched and was bleeding from the umbilical, or was it still in the egg and pipped a vein?

it kinda hatched. It zipped a butt still in the shell because it was attached to the umbilical.it is still attached and really sticky but I don't want to detach it. Idk what to do. Otherwise it is acting normal.

my humidity is horrible. Its up in the 80s all the time. No water or sponges even in it. I even put rice under the wire because it was in the 90s. But its really humid normally right now. Humidity outside is 90% in the house its like 50% I'm going crazy trying to keep them from drowning. Already lost 3 to the humidity

 

[ShelbyCoral]

detach it, thats what I did. I t healed fast too.

 

[JennaLynn122]

How do

detach it, thats what I did. I t healed fast too.

how do you do that? All other veins are receded except the cord. Its been about 12 hours since it hatched. And I put it in a glass bowl because the others were trying to peck at it.

Brilliant

. I will remember what you did. I'm always convinced that I've messed up and they won't hatch-----then out they pop. That's really great. Don't forget the pics
