I still feel like one of these two is a boy and one is a girl, fortunately I have a home for a boy if I end up with one.
I will be thrilled if I have as good a hatch as you did, or even if I best the two that I got on the last one
I've never had a hatch too wet - only too dry. So I run typically around 45%, then up to 65% at hatch time. If you feel under a setting hen it is warm and moist - not damp or wet, or dry.
You can add incubator chicks under a broody. I would also recommend waiting until they are dried off, but not much longer - you don't want her to get up off the nest and wander off without them. They will happily make themselves at home, and will not interfere if she has chicks hatching.
I agree, brief interruptions are not much of an issue. But you might want to start checking her a couple times a day, or even consider restricting her to a smaller area.
I think so. I had eight that made it past the final candling. One pipped but did not progress, and was dead when I opened the egg. The two that hatched pipped and unzipped without any problems at all
I left them in the incubator until tomorrow but I don't think I will see any more out of this...
