If he is out of the shell keep him in there a while to dry off. Once hes dry and you have no more eggs that have pipped the shell you can take him out. If you have eggs that are mid hatching you will have to leave him in there

So when he dries i take him out into brooder and offer food?That sounds right.

Yes Sir, you can take him out and dip his beak into water and he should throw his head up and swallow it. If he is the only 1 you might want to put a teddy in with him for company

How long do i leave him in the incubator? My dad says 24hours but when do i introduce him to feed/water.

I do as soon as there dry and theres no more eggs to hatch
