About to water, I have a hatching dilemma though:
3 adorable baby chicks hatched overnight.
Just saw momma and babies out of the nesting box (locked in a large dog crate), and the last chick has externally pipped with a pretty good sized hole. It is 10:30 AM, temp is 86 and rising, humidity is 67%. Trying to decide if I should leave the egg where it is, remove the nesting box so the egg is on the floor (forgot to do that before they started hatching), or snag it for another stubborn broody to finish the job and grab a couple of sibling from TSC.
Thoughts?
