what do I after my first chick starts to hatch?

[Boya321]

I have read that after the eggs start to hatch I should leave the chicks in there for up to two to three days becasue if I open the incubator I might risk the other eggs from hatching from the cool air rush. Is this true?

Yes it is true. Opening the bator dries out any pips you may have.

Yes it is true, however if you have to open the 'bator, you can open

it real slow so that a cold rush of air does not come rushing in on your

eggs. I take my chicks out all the time, even with others hatching.

I watch the humidity range, if its still in the 60s when its open it'll be good. Besides, when I have hatches, the humidity sky rockets to in the 80s. I have the warm wet paper towel to throw in just in case.
