Only one egg hatched

[Walker Chicks]

We had five eggs and only one out of the three of them has hatched alive. We still have two more eggs to go, but they aren’t looking very promising. She is seeming quite restless and is pecking around and we think that she is lonely. Any advice? She is still in the incubator. Should we move her into the brooder, or wait a little longer? She is about 24 hours old

You can move her to the brooder. What day are your eggs on?

You can move her to the brooder. What day are your eggs on?

Day 22, so they might still hatch. (She came early)
