chicken bark Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I am so cross with myself - last night I moved 3 eggs from my incubator to under a broody hen. I must have been so preoccupied with that that I forgot to put the incubator lid back on. It was off for an hour. Today is day 18 - can you all keep fingers crossed that I've not stuffed up this hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy kc Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I will keep my fingers crossed but don't really think you will need it. At day 17/18 the chicks inside the eggs should be fine. They might be a little late though. Hope you have a good hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 It will be fine, the chick in the egg will be big enough to retain the heat by that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
