Hi, I am a beginner in egg hatching, and I now have an egg that has pipped at day 17 (i think the end of day 16 actually) which is super early! So the story is I received 10 eggs from a friend and I was using brinsea mini eco II, unfortunately my thermometer wasn't properly calibrated, and I realised only after a few days that the temperature was around 38.6 or higher. Needless to say 9/10 of the eggs died, but one survived. So I got another brinsea advance to make sure the temperature stays constant and auto-turn the eggs, and I got another 15 eggs from the friend. So it has been 5 days since the new eggs have been placed in the incubator, I was planning to put the last surviving egg from the first batch in the first incubator on day 18, but I realised yesterday that it has already pipped.
It has been about 10 hours, it has been chirping and moving a lot since I first noticed it. The membrane seems white so I think the humidity is ok? The problem is, for the past few days, the eggs had been turned every 45 minutes. I stopped the turning after noticing the first pip and I have not touched the incubator since. However, if I leave the egg inside, the other eggs can't be turned. But if i open the incubator, im afraid that the membrane will dry out. Should I leave it inside and hope the other eggs survive not turning for a day or should I remove it? Thanks in advance!!!
