Question
Tracie, how long after the babbies hatch do I take them out of the incubator I have read several different time frames.

Answer
Hello Dena,

I would allow them enough time to absorb their yolk sacs first to make sure they don't get any dirt or debris on their yolk sac.  A day or so is sufficient maybe two.  The yolk sac is usually good enough to last them for at least 5 days or so for food.
