Miracle in the Incubator: How 7 Chicks Emerged from Just 12 Eggs Against All Odds!
So, I got up, and lowered the temperature setting on the incubator from 100 to 95. Just a minute or so later, that chick was up and waddling about in the incubator. We were seriously convinced that this last chick was not going to make it. It’s shocking how emotionally attached we were becoming to these little birds. We were steeling our hearts to find this little one lifeless when we woke up, and were overjoyed to see it fully animated. After it dried off a bit more, we cheerfully transferred it to the brooder box where we now have seven chicks peeping, pecking, sleeping, and pooping. – a lot. (We are using puppy pads, and changing those twice a day.)
