YO GEORGIANS! :)

I had to separate broody from flock while she was sitting on eggs because everyone uses only 1 box like the other one is cursed or something. They'd continue to add eggs and she'd take them. Makes staggered development, ones she'd end up leaving for whatever hatches within 3 days of first chick. When her chicks were not quite 3 weeks old I put all of them and mom back in her breed's coop at feed time. Momma did a smackdown on 2 others trying to check out the chicks then all was right in their world! Momma went to dustbathing with chicks surrounding her so I knew she was comfortable. I should mention that the roo had already been separated weeks earlier. Now everyone gets along great like the chicks were there the whole time. I vote with the others- mom will protect them. And less worry for you since you don't have to make sure the brooder stays just right

No pasty butt and healthier chicks too.

Hi you bator looks like mine so what temp and humidity do you run? and I though the eggs had to lay flat during lock down?

There is a thread about this. Lot of people having this issue. Myself included.

I try to keep it at 100 degrees and 30-35% humidity for the first 18 days, then I take the eggs out of the turner and put them in modified cartons and increase the humidity to between 60 and 65%. Putting them in the modified cartons to hatch stops the eggs from being rolled around by the early birds.
