Plz Help! Eggs in the incubator on May 1st is today day 21?

[kaceek]

HEY!!!! I just had one hatch. I moved humidity up to 69% while it was hatching... should I move it up more or stay? The membrane underneath the egg was really white... but nothing stuck to it... just the egg poop think (yuck?) Lot of other are pipping... start zipping chickies!! How many days should I leave this first one in before I take it out... Like 2 days? So if it hatched today I can take it out Sunday AM... or should I take it out sooner?

Thanks ahead of time

@Cowgirl- thanks thats a good way to look at! 5 years of college and I can't figure a hatching schedule out

If you can, I'd make it a little more humid. It's often the later ones who get shrink wrapped (for me, anyway). The hatcheries say that a chick can go 72 hours without food or water. So 48 hours should be okay. The sooner he comes out of the bator, the better for him, but you could easily harm the other un-hatched chicks by opening the bator too soon. I would say 48 hours is a good compromise.
