Incubator too Crowded

[saranda22]

Hello
I have had a high hatch in a smaller incubator. It is getting too crowded.
If I can maintain the humidity can I open and take out some of the hatched eggs.

The ambient temperature is the same as the incubator and I can maintain the humidity.
The last egg hatched a little over an hour ago.
Thanks

Yes, go ahead and take the ducklings out, as well as any shells/gunk. If you close the incubator, and after a few minutes the humidity doesn't rise up to where you want it (75-ish%), you can open it back up and set a moist sponge or towel in the incubator, not touching the eggs.

Thank you! All went well. Left the ducklings in because it has only been 6hrs since the 1st and a couple hours since the last duckling hatched!
