Chicky Warm Time

[_Featherian]

Hello
My chicks hatched today at 5 AM. It’s almost been 24 hours, should I take them out of my incubator and place them in a small house with a warm lamp, or not yet??

Sure, you could take them out as soon as they were fluffed.

Okay. They are all fluffy, could I still keep them in for the night, or would it be too warm and suffering for them? When can they start drinking/eating??

If you need to keep them in there, you can but they can be taken out, they could have been taken out within a few hours of hatch.
They can eat and drink as soon as they see food.

What is the temperature of the room they will be in? It is inside or outside? Do you have a heat lamp or other source of heat? A cheap thermometer should be kept on the floor of the brooder under the warmest area, and have a cooler spot for them to go to if too warm. They need about 90 degrees F of warmth for their first week, then go down by 5 degrees each week until fully feathered around 6 weeks. They need to go into their brooder now.
