Good Morning, Congratulations on the new babies.

I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

1. The pics you posted are they of your brooder or your incubator ?

I know this may sound like a dumb question but I see chicks in the one
that are not dry yet, and during my next hatch, (for room sake having
alot hatch this time) want to move them out of the incubator and into
a brooder before they are completely dry.

2. do you have a seperate box set up to put them in just for
hatching ???

Please explain your set up, if you would please.

Thank you for all your time, have a great day

Hi

One is a brooder it is the larger one in the tent area..there are 10-
14 foot brooders. The ones you see in the glass was due to being just
hatched..we had to put them in a fish tank and bring them inside
quickly..because the heater went out on the incubator that they had
just hatched in. I could not mix the chicks because the other
incubators were full. In other words....a new motor could not be
bought untill monday. they made it and are eating and growing fast.

Ps- Once the incubator has shown the chicks to began to pipe the
eggs...we also have a lot of glass tanks set up with heaters to allow
the chicks to hatch in a differant compartment who are past 24 hours
trying to hatch and having a hard time. we seclude those chicks to
keep a eye on them. Mike
