HELP

[Farmer In Training]

Okay. So to make a long story short my incubator is awful but I wanted to let the remaining chicks develop fully to hatch and only one hatched and it fell under the hatching pad i don’t even know how so I had to unscrew the hatching pad and save it and there are other eggs that look like they might still hatch so I put them in my really good incubator (which normally holds way less eggs than my bad incubator. )

Sorry that didn’t make a lot of sense but I just don’t know what to do and I’m trying to type this quickly

Okay so I have a lonely chick rn and I don’t think it’s friends are going to hatch. It hatched about two hours ago is my guess maybe three (got home an hour ago.) and anyways I have a brood then who’s chicks are hatching in a few days and was thinking maybe I could skip it under her but I don’t want her to kill it so thoughts on that? And if I slip it under her when it is two days old will she still take it because I want to just keep it in the incubator to encourage the other eggs to hatch (they seem like they might be alive.) so yeah. So sorry for the confusing typing please help lol <3

It hasn't been long enough to assume the other eggs won't hatch. Yes, a broody will take the chick. Give it to her in the dark.

I would wait and give the other eggs a couple of days. Have you candled them to see if they’re good? Yes your broody will accept the baby. Like above said slip it under her after dark. I would wait until her eggs are hatching or about to.
