Brood box temp?

How critical is the brood box temp?

I live in a tropical environment night temp is about 75-80

Day temp is 80-85.

Keets are over a week old.

The motivation behind this is I hit The jackpot with keets. Was incubating 17 eggs those all hatched. Mum was brooding I guess another 15 eggs, those hatched.

My normal brood box has been converted to a puppy kennel.

Correct created brood box is gonna rapidly get to small.

Thoughts ideas?

Thanks.

Egg hatching.

I know everybody will say don't help a keet to hatch. At what point does this rule end?

I have a keet who has been trying to hatch for the past 2 days. It's still alive. Do I just let it die in the shell or help?

Splayed legs

I will admit that I was not truly prepared to deal with this. Don't really have the supplies to do it vet wrap stuff.

Just spent the last 30 minutes trying to hobble a keet and failed.

Any ideas on how to correct this or should I just let nature take it's course.

15 keets hatched

Suggestions, ideas ?

Two questions about keets

The first is how long can a newly hatched keet stay in the incubator?

The other.

There is a clutch of eggs I let mum sit on. They should be hatching soon. It's the dry season here so now "wild" water. How can I get these keets water.

Don't just say snatch them up, cuz my mum is evil carnate. I tried to get her water before barely got away with my life.

I don't know why folks say their terrible parents cuz mine are tasmanian devils.

Thanks
