Prematurely helping the chick hatch could cripple or infect it. Remember that after it has made a hole in the shell the chick stops piping for a few hours and rests while its lungs are getting used to the outside atmosphere. Humidity is critical at hatching time and you shouldn’t open the incubator until most chicks have hatched. Don’t allow your curiosity to damage your hatch.
I CAN'T WAIT to see them all hatched and fluffy. I know they won't be fluffy right away but still. they are going to be sooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting!!! I can't wait to see them

Yaaaay, we're all aunties!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat do mother chickens do? Do they peck at the shell or do they just keep sitting there on it?
ReplyDeleteIt has to be torture, for you.
Oh the torture, I would not be able to sit and wait
ReplyDeleteMother hens do not help them out. They just continue to sit on them until everyone is hatched out.
