This is the worst hatch Iāve ever had! My first chick was attacked and hatched two days early. Two other chicks hatched yesterday and when I put them in the brooder with the first (Rocky) started attacking them. She just wouldnāt stop, even with toys, drawings on the brooder, and me playing mama hen to discipline her. I got them separated with chicken wire thanks to one of my sons. But I didnāt realize when I took the top off the incubator that I didnāt quite get it seated! And another chick was pipping and at least two more are close! Everyone still looks like they are alive but the humidity dropped to 38% for about fifteen minutes give or take. I refilled the reservoir with a quickness and humidity has climbed to only 55%. Iām so overwhelmed. I canāt stop crying. Iāve done MANY hatches and have never had anything like this happen. Mama abandoned he eggs after the attack and they are all hatching at wildly different times. I mean days apart. The rest of the babies are going to die and itās all my fault!
