Good Luck

I know tortoises & chickens aren't the same but when i first hatched it took my Little Serama bantam 3 - 4 days to hatch.

What temp was you incubator on? normally you can tell if it's going to be male or female by what temp the incubator was one during incubation

I came home from work and he/she was out of the egg! So excited. Should I give it a bath? There is a small amount of the yolk left not much, How much is too much for the little one?

And when I set up its after the incubator home... any suggestions.... I do have an empty 10 gallon tank if that would work...

Can you tell it is my first newborn LOL

Thank You so much for your help!!!! All of you!!!

Temp stayed right around 90F... I think higher the temp is female? Lower is Male? And temp range should be between 87-91F for red foots....I could be remembering this all wrong and I don't know the Celcius conversion.... Please correct me if I am so I don't mis inform anyone
