Happy Easter Rebels! I got the most amazing Easter present ever!!! My second hatch started a bit early on Thursday, with Royal Ranch's first chick; we were so excited, especially since the chicks were pre-sold. The poults started coming the next day, but too slowly for the sake of the chick. She/he was getting DARN hungry and wanted OUT of that incubator.
So last night we very quickly opened up the incubator (you are not supposed to open the incubator mid-hatch due to dropping the humidity level), and grabbed out the one chick and five, YES FIVE, poults!!! I was concerned about the other "babies" picking on them, so we put them in a box in the brooder. If you all remember, we have four chicks and poults that were hatched/purchased in late February; so I was not sure how they would all get along.
